A RARE CASE: PELLET REMAINING IN THE PENIS AFTER SHOTGUN INJURY
Öz
Firearms injuries to the penis are rarely seen but require immediate investigation to assess the extent of injury inorder to prevent complications such as erectile or/and urination dysfunction. Although the treatment is usually performed by surgical intervention, few patients can be followed conservatively. Herein, we present a case of a gunshot injury treated without any surgical intervention, in which a pellet was detected in the corpus cavernosum of penis and did not cause any symptoms of penile fracture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature regarding penile gunshot injury in which a pellet was retained in the corpus cavernosum and was treated without surgery.
