Penile amputation and emasculation: hazards of modern agricultural machinery.
We report a case of 20-year-old farmer with penile amputation and emasculation secondary to crushing injury inflicted by agricultural machinery. His entire penis, scrotum and both the testis had been avulsed after falling onto a rotating axel wheel of an electronically driven thrashing machine. After resuscitation the wound was thoroughly washed with saline, hemostasis achieved and a perineal urethrostomy was made from the remnant urethra.
