Description
Denis Mucunguzi and colleagues present a 2026 case report about a baby badly bitten by a family dog. The boy was seven months old and lost skin from his penis and scrotum, the soft pouch holding the testes. The bite also harmed the tube that carries urine.
Doctors cleaned the wounds, removed dead tissue, and placed a urine tube. They rebuilt the area in stages, using a full-thickness skin graft for the penis and later closure of the scrotum. The child also got antibiotics and rabies shots. At one month he was healing well, passed urine normally, and had no leak or narrowing.
