Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Penoscrotal avulsion injuries unless associated with the other injuries, is rarely life threatening. However it can put enormous physical, sexual and psychological difficulty to the victims1. The study was conducted at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana over a 20 year period from 1991 to 2010. Twenty eight patients with peno-scrotal avulsion injury, were enrolled in the study. Based on our experience in managing these patients we propose a classification for “Penoscrotal Avulsion” injuries. This classification, in future, might also be helpful in developing protocols for management of these injuries.
