Abstract EN
Animal bite is rare with few cases reported in the literature.
The morbidity of animal bites is directly related to the severity of the initial wound.
Most victims are boys, and dog bites are the most common injury.
Infectious complications are unusual, since treatment is sought early (Wein 2007).
Thus, urologists are not usually familiar with management and principles for treating this condition.
The authors report the case of a 38-year-old male with a severe mule bite injury to the genitalia causing complete penile and anterior urethra amputation and scrotal wound with no involvement of its contents.
To our knowledge, no such case had ever been reported in the medical literature.
This kind of emergencies is challenging for urologists.
