Traumatic perineal injury in children is a rather underestimated condition, in terms of occurrence.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on the epidemiology and management of degloving soft tissue injuries (DSTIs) at a tertiary care center in northern India, with a follow-up on postoperative outcomes and disabilities.
  • A total of 75 patients were examined, predominantly young males with injuries mostly resulting from traffic accidents; treatments included multiple surgical procedures and rehabilitation efforts.
  • The findings revealed significant postoperative complications, varying lengths of hospital stays, and varying degrees of disability, with most patients returning to work, although some faced lasting impacts from their injuries.
