title: [Genital wound caused by low-speed fire arm].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of genital gunshot injuries and review the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case of low velocity multiple gunshot penile injuries is described. Surgical exploration was performed, gunshot removed and the albuginea repaired. A broad spectrum antibiotic was administered prophylactically for infection.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Good cosmetic and functional results, including sexual potency and voiding, were achieved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgical exploration is mandatory in genital gunshot injuries. The best approach to the albuginea is by a crown incision and denudation of the penile skin, which permits surgical repair with excellent cosmetic results.
