    Background:

    • Sexual assault literature primarily focuses on female victims, neglecting male survivors.
    • There's a documented increase in reported sexual assault cases, highlighting a need for comprehensive victim support.
    • Male sexual assault is an under-researched area, lacking specific clinical guidelines and physician awareness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the medical and demographic characteristics of male sexual assault victims.
    • To identify patterns of injury and medical interventions, such as gonorrhea prophylaxis, for male survivors.
    • To contribute to the development of effective clinical protocols and physician education for managing male sexual assault.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of 29 male sexual assault victims treated at University Hospital between 1976 and 1980.
    • Documentation of genital and extragenital trauma, medical treatments, and prophylaxis administered.
    • Collection of data on victim demographics, assailant characteristics, and assault circumstances.

    Main Results:

    • Analysis of 29 male sexual assault cases revealed patterns of physical trauma and specific medical needs.
    • Gonorrhea prophylaxis was a significant consideration for a portion of the male victim cohort.
    • Data was collected on victim background, assailant details, and the circumstances surrounding the assaults.

    Conclusions:

    • Male sexual assault is a distinct clinical issue requiring targeted medical and psychological management.
    • This study underscores the scarcity of information and the need for increased physician awareness and specialized protocols.
    • Findings aim to guide the development of effective care strategies for male sexual assault survivors.
