abstract="OBJECTIVES: The main characteristics of burn injuries of the male genitalia and the basic principles of treatment are described. METHODS/RESULTS: Of 77 patients in the Burns Unit of this hospital, 7 (9%) had lesions to the external genitalia. Four of these patients had superficial dermal (grade IIA), 2 had deep dermal (grade IIB) and one had total dermal or subdermal burn injuries (grade III-IV) to the genitalia. The superficial lesions were treated medically and deep burns required surgery.At one-year follow-up, no functional sequelae were observed except in the patient with total dermal burn injuries, who developed right testicular atrophy and azoospermia, but preserved erection and ejaculation. CONCLUSIONS: Burn injuries to the external genitalia are uncommon. These lesions do not often require surgical treatment, and usually heal spontaneously. Despite their dramatic appearance, cure with no cosmetic or functional sequelae is often the rule.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
