Degloving perineal injury is defined as avulsion of the perineal skin and subcutaneous tissue from its surrounding fascia, bone, and organs. This injury is most commonly caused by road vehicle accidents or alleged falls from heights. This devastating injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality if mismanaged. We retrospectively evaluated our management protocol for degloving perineal injury and the clinical outcomes of our case series.
