Circumcision for penile deep burn with phimosis.

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Burn Management
• Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

• Genital burns are rare due to anatomical protection.
• Standardized treatment guidelines for genital burns are lacking.
• Conservative management is typical for genital burn injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a unique case of managing genital burns in a patient with phimosis.
• To evaluate the efficacy of circumcision as a dual treatment for phimosis and genital burns.

Main Methods:

• A 55-year-old male with extensive scald burns (46% TBSA), including genital involvement, was treated.
• Fluid resuscitation and standard burn care were initiated.
• Circumcision was performed to address phimosis and concurrent genital burns.

Main Results:

• Circumcision provided simultaneous treatment for phimosis and genital burns.
• The patient experienced good wound healing and effective pain control.
• Favorable prognosis and excellent cosmetic appearance were achieved post-procedure.

Conclusions:

• Circumcision can be an effective simultaneous treatment for genital burns in the context of phimosis.
• This approach offers a favorable outcome regarding healing, pain, prognosis, and aesthetics.
• Further research may explore this combined surgical strategy for similar cases.
