Use of scrotal skin to cover cutaneous defects resulting from palliative lymph node dissections in groin and suprapubic area.

Scrotal skin was employed to cover skin defects resulting from palliative groin and suprapubic dissections designed to remove large masses of tumor which had eroded the skin. This technique provides a simple and effective alternative to more complex procedures using rotational skin and myocutaneous flaps to achieve primary skin closure in similar circumstances.
