title: The etiology and management of genital injuries.
abstract: In a 10-year period, we have seen and treated 70 patients with trauma to the genitalia. There were 42 penile, 38 scrotal, and 16 testicular injuries. Patients with severe multisystem or extensive genital wounds were successfully managed by early conservative debridement with delayed definitive repair.
