An inusual accident at work: plugging of the penis by a splinter of wood
Basic and Clinical Andrology volume 22, pages 49–50 (2012)
Résumé
Les auteurs rapportent une observation d’une plaie de la verge par embrochage d’une esquille de bois lors de l’activité quotidienne d’un menuisier. Le patient a été reçu trois heures après l’accident de travail. L’esquille de bois avait transpercé la verge de part en part, avec arrêt au niveau de la cuisse gauche. L’exploration chirurgicale a retrouvé une plaie d’environ 1,5 × 3 cm des corps caverneux, sans atteinte visible de l’urètre, et une effraction du muscle quadriceps. Le risque de dysfonction érectile secondaire au traumatisme des corps caverneux a été évoqué.
Abstract
This is a case study of a perforating wound of the penis by a wood, which happened during the daily activity of a carpenter. The patient was referred three hours after the accident that happened at its jobsite. There were three wounds. The entry point was on the left side of the penis, the exit point on the right and the second entry point on the medial face of the right thigh. The surgical exploration revealed a wound of 1.5 by 3 centimeters that went through the corpus cavernosum. The urethra seemed to be normal and the quadriceps muscle was torn. The risk of erection disorder following the penile injury is to be considered.
