Dislocation of the penis: a rare case of genital trauma

Abstract

Traumatic dislocation of the penis is one of the rarest types of genital trauma. This type of injury is accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin and the penile ligamentous apparatus, with the dislocation of the penis into the scrotum under the skin of the thigh, or the area of the pubic joint. The low occurrence frequency of such injuries and the small number of observations described in the literature entails the absence of generally accepted treatment tactics for this category of patients. The article describes a clinical case of successfully treated traumatic dislocation of the penis with penile transposition into the pubic joint area and the formation of subcutaneous urinary leakage after late treatment of the patient for medical care.
