Abstract:
Dog bites are common in many countries and the most common type of animal bites. Despite the high rates, genital trauma, especially scrotal trauma, caused by dog bite is rare, with few cases reported in the literature. We report the successful treatment of testicular rupture due to dog bite. Treatment consisted of orchiectomy with surgical debriment and antibiotics. The diagnosis and management of scrotal injury caused by dog bite are discussed.
