  • Title: Gluteal pouching: a complication of perineal burn scar contracture. A case report.
    Author: Alghanem AA, McCauley RL, Robson MC.
    Journal: J Burn Care Rehabil; 1990; 11(2):137-9. PubMed ID: 2335551.
    Abstract:
    Burns to the buttocks are rare. Gluteal pouching, a complication of burn scar contractures of the buttocks, with total effacement of the gluteal folds and hooding of the rectum is described. A barium enema is helpful for preoperative evaluation. Recreation of the gluteal folds and unhooding of the rectum can be performed effectively without skin grafting.
