J Burn Care Rehabil. 1993 Sep-Oct;14(5):557-8. doi: 10.1097/00004630-199309000-00011.

Abstract

In male patients with extensive burns, the scrotum is often spared and is potentially a very useful donor site. We describe a technique that simplifies scrotal harvest and facilitates the procurement of clinically useful amounts of split-thickness skin.
