Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Dog bites are a common injury, but those involving the external genitalia are rare.
  • Genital trauma in adolescents requires careful management to prevent long-term complications.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male presented with a dog bite wound to the penis.
  • The injury involved significant soft tissue damage.

Findings:

  • The wound was thoroughly cleansed using high-pressure syringe irrigation with sterile normal saline.
  • This irrigation technique effectively debrided and sterilized the wound.

Implications:

  • Prompt and appropriate wound management is crucial for favorable outcomes in penile dog bites.
  • High-pressure saline irrigation represents a valuable method for managing complex soft tissue injuries of the external genitalia.
