Penile strangulation in children, often caused by hair or thread, can lead to severe urethral injury. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications like fistulae and amputation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Urethral Injury
  • Surgical Emergencies

Background:

  • Penile strangulation by hair or thread is a rare pediatric condition.
  • It can cause significant urethral damage if not treated promptly.

Observation:

  • A study reviewed five pediatric cases of penile strangulation.
  • Cases presented to Aga Khan University Hospital between August 1991 and August 1992.

Findings:

  • Three children recovered fully after the constricting agent was removed.
  • Two patients experienced severe complications, including urethrocutaneous fistulae and partial penile amputation, due to delayed presentation.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention for penile strangulation in children.
