“…Various forms of splintage and dressings following operations on penis are available including foam, POP cast, impervious materials, tie over, alginates and cut plastic syringes, [1][2][3][4][5] but none of them are ideal for post microsurgical reconstructions. Cut syringes have been used by Sharma et al for penile resurfacing by skin grafting.…”

We present a simple method of splintage following microvascular reconstruction of penis. The splint is made by removing the bases of two thermocol glasses and joining them with paper adhesive tapes to form a hollow cylinder to protect and support the penis and keep it vertical. The splint is slid over the catheter and the reconstructed penis and fixed to the lower abdominal wall and the thighs with paper tapes for stability. A window at the base of the splint is made for the purpose of observation, while the tip is monitored from the open end at the top.

“…The reasons for graft failure are hematoma, infection, overcompression, and displacement. 1,2 In the distal part of the extremities, both hematoma and overcompression tend to be problematic, with the hematoma usually occurring in the immediate postoperative period. 3 Complications such as hematoma and congestion are observed usually within only 2 days after surgery.…”

“…The most common cause of autologous skin graft failure is hematoma. The clot isolates the undersurface of the graft from the endothelial buds of the recipient site so that revascularization cannot take place [1].…”

Skin grafting is integral to burn wound management and is the only way of providing permanent wound closure of full thickness burn and deep partial thickness burn that fails to heal within 3 weeks. Successful auto-grafting is the key to patient survival. With periodic change in the team of surgical trainees working in the burn unit, it was considered necessary to develop a protocol for the skin grafting procedure. Implementation of this protocol was expected to yield uniform outcome despite change in the operating team. Validation of this protocol was considered necessary to evaluate its efficacy. This study was carried out over a period of 12 months from 2014 to 2015.
