Using Urethroplasty as an immediate treatment for gunshot-induced penis injury during the Syrian war: Case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Wars and armed conflicts often result in gunshot injuries, including penile trauma, in military personnel or civilians. Urinary system damage occurs in 0.5-4.2 % of cases involving harm to all organs and systems during combat conflicts. We report the immediate Urethroplasty for gunshot-induced penile injury.

Case presentation

A 25-year-old Syrian soldier presented to the emergency department with difficulty urinating due to a gunshot wound to the penis. Physical examination showed bruising on the scrotum and penis. Computed tomography scan confirmed a gunshot injury to the bulbar urethra. Under general anesthesia, a circumcised incision was made and it was observed a significant loss of 14 cm of the penile and bulbar urethra on the ventral side. T
