Penetrating penile injuries are rare in children. Thus, the evaluation and management of this type of injury have not been well described. Penile trauma in children varies in severity from trivial to more severe, with devastating functional and psychosocial consequences. Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy who suffered a penetrating penile injury as a result of falling from a height onto a sharp object, necessitating rerouting of the penis. After stabilization, the patient was subjected to careful surgical exploration and meticulous reconstructive surgery. The final outcome was excellent with good functional and cosmetic result without any complications.
Baarimah et al. (2026) studied this question.
