TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Taser related testicular trauma JO - Urology A1 - Theisen, Katherine A1 - Slater, Rick A1 - Hale, Nathan SP - e5 EP - e5 VL - 88 IS - N2 - The Taser is an electrical weapon designed as a non-lethal means to subdue violent or fleeing subjects. Several reports have been published on the safety and efficacy of, as well as injury profile from, police Tasers. Documented urologic involvement is rare. The sequela of an electrical current from a Taser gun to the testis in regards to both short-term and long-term function is unknown. Herein we present a case of penetrating trauma to the scrotum from a Taser dart.
