ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Dog bites are a common presentation in emergency departments. However, scrotal injuries with complete testicular avulsion are exceedingly rare. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a dog bite to the scrotum with complete detachment of the testis and right hemiscrotum in an intoxicated 48-year-old man, who was treated with wound irrigation, debridement, antibiotic prophylaxis, tetanus and rabies vaccination, and a covering scrotoplasty.DISCUSSION:
Testicular avulsion following a dog bite to the scrotum is a urologic emergency. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach to address bleeding control, testicular function preservation, infection prevention, and scrotal reconstruction.CONCLUSION:
Dog bites to the scrotum can lead to serious and irreversible complications, underscoring the need for every urologist to be aware and prepared to manage such injuries.
