title: Gunshot wound to the penis: the need for corporal exploration.
abstract: Although the overall incidence of penetrating penile injuries is relatively low, these injuries may present complex management problems and should be managed with attention to long-term cosmetic and functional considerations. In this article we present an unusual case of a gunshot wound to the penis and emphasize the importance of bilateral corporal exploration and possible repair to avoid erectile dysfunction and penile deformity.
