Abstract

An 8-year-old boy was brought to the paediatric surgery department having amputated his penis and both testicles during a road traffic accident. Examination of the perinea showed a complete amputation of penis, scrotum and testicles. We performed debridement and skin suture initially. The urethral orifice was catheterized by a 10 F Foley's catheter. I the herein case report, we discuss the incidence, management and complications of genital amputation in a young boy. Moreover, the existing literature in this subject is reviewed.
