Abstract

Kırk yedi yasında erkek hasta silah ile yaralanmadan 3 saat sonra acil servisimize basvurdu. Hastada genis skrotal defekt vardı. Her iki testis ve korpus kavernozum yaralanmıstı. Üretra ve korpus spongiosum tamamen kopmustu. Opere edilerek penisteki yaralanması onarılan hastanın postoperatif 6. haftada yapılan kontrolünde hasta sonuçtan memnun olduğunu ve ereksiyonların devam ettiğini belirtti. Tek yakınması glans penisteki hafif his kaybı idi. Genital yaralanmaların tedavisinde testis ve penisin korunması için tüm olasılıklar değerlendirilmelidir.
