Leur prise en charge thérapeutique ne pose pas de grandes difficultés dans les cas simples, en revanche le traitement des formes graves (amputations, fistules) demeure un défi.AbstractIntroductionPenile injuries may cause serious lesions and sequelae. Under-reported, their management sometimes can be delicate.ObjectivesTo determine the frequency and the anatomo-clinical features of penile injuries in our institution, to report the patient socio-demographic variables and to evaluate the management of these penile trauma cases.Subjects and methodsThis is a retrospective study of 15 cases of penile injuries managed in the department of urology at the Regional hospital of Louga, Senegal, from January 2007 to December 2013.ResultsThe 15 cases of penile injuries represented 1,36% of all urological emergencies. The mean age of patients was 21,86 ± 18,46 years old (extremes 4 years and 70 years old). Patients with 12 years old and under represented 60% of all cases. Open trauma (wounds, lacerations, amputations) were more frequent (n = 11; 73,33%) than blunt trauma: penile fractures (n = 2) and strangulations (n = 2). Surgical treatments performed were: irrigation, debridement and primary suturing for wounds and lacerations (n = 5); penile replantat...
