Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Injuries to the prepuce (foreskin) are infrequent in clinical practice.
  • A review of 32 patients treated over a 3-year period was conducted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the etiology and characteristics of preputial injuries.
  • To differentiate injury patterns between pediatric and adult populations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Review of patient demographics, injury mechanisms, and predisposing factors.

Main Results:

  • Accidental preputial injuries occurred in 6 boys, with zipper entrapment being the most frequent cause.
  • Coital and self-inflicted injuries constituted 85% of adult cases.
  • Phimosis or a short frenulum were common predisposing factors in adults with coital injuries.

Conclusions:

  • Etiology of preputial injuries differs significantly between pediatric and adult patients.
  • Awareness of distinct injury patterns and predisposing factors is crucial for effective management.
