Gossypiboma: An Unusual Foreign Body of the Male Urethra
Journal Title: The Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2013, Vol 75, Issue 1
Abstract
We present a case of a fifty year old man who presented with multiple incisions in the peno-scrotal skin with extensive gangrenous changes. At debridement, a defect was identified in the bulbar urethra, through which two gauze pieces were removed. The post infective raw area was covered with a gracilis myocutaneous flap.
