Abstract
Genital trauma is commonly seen in boys but rarely results in serious injury necessitating surgical intervention. This article discusses both blunt and penetrating injuries to the penis, urethra, and scrotum. The anatomy, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, and evaluation of each type of injury are discussed. Testicular rupture, urethral disruption, and penile fracture and amputation are acute surgical emergencies that require emergent referral to and management by a qualified urologist. Most of the other conditions can be diagnosed and managed by an emergency physician with access to high-resolution ultrasonography.
