Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of genital gunshot injuries and review the literature. METHODS: A case of low velocity multiple gunshot penile injuries is described. Surgical exploration was performed, gunshot removed and the albuginea repaired. A broad spectrum antibiotic was administered prophylactically for infection. RESULTS: Good cosmetic and functional results, including sexual potency and voiding, were achieved. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical exploration is mandatory in genital gunshot injuries. The best approach to the albuginea is by a crown incision and denudation of the penile skin, which permits surgical repair with excellent cosmetic results.
