Complex perineal degloving injury in a 4-year-old girl: A rare pediatric case managed at tertiary hospital
A multidisciplinary team approach is the mainstay in the management of complex perineal degloving wounds. Timely decision-making regarding wound closure must be guided by both the local wound condition and the patient's overall hemodynamic stability. Early involvement of the plastic surgery team is essential as it significantly enhances the potential for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
