Abstract:
Urologic trauma produced by dog bites is uncommon. Several previous single reports and small case series have described the treatment of dog bite-induced injuries to the external genitalia. In this report, we describe our treatment of a patient with thoracic paraplegia and an ileal conduit who had extensive trauma to his ileostomy as a result of a bite by the family dog. To our knowledge, the current case is the first report of dog bite-induced ileostomy trauma.
