TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Pediatric perineal impalement injuries JO - Journal of pediatric surgery A1 - Grisoni, E. R. A1 - Hahn, E. A1 - Marsh, E. A1 - Volsko, T. A1 - Dudgeon, D. SP - 702 EP - 704 VL - 35 IS - 5 N2 - Pediatric perineal impalement injuries are relatively uncommon. There may be difficulty in recognizing or properly treating such injuries, because their severity may not be reflected accurately by the external appearance of the perineum. The authors describe 3 case reports of patients with perineal impalement injuries and their management. The authors emphasize how a thorough workup can prevent missed injuries, leading to timely surgical repair and good outcomes.
