Treatment of a delayed zipper injury.
Penile zipper injuries have been reported occurring usually in the pediatric population, and occasionally in adults. Usually, the zipper can be dislodged with mineral oil or by breaking the median bar. When these attempts fail, a small elliptical incision may be used to remove the zipper and any devitalized tissue.
