Abstract
Injury to the prepuce is uncommon. A total of 232 patients were treated within a 3-year period. A difference in the aetiology between boys and adults was noted. Accidental injury to the prepuce occurred in 6 boys, with zipper injuries being the commonest among children. Coital and self-inflicted injuries accounted for 85% of adult cases. In patients with coital injuries, predisposing phimosis or short frenulum was common.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
