Abstract
The frequency of injuries to the male external genitalia, domestic and foreign classifications of injuries to the scrotum and penis are studied. The features of diagnostics and treatment tactics depending on the degree of damage are shown. The case of a patient with a gunshot wound to the penis, scrotum, and perineum demonstrates the features of surgical tactics at the stages of providing qualified and specialized medical care. Because of complications that developed at the stage of providing high-tech medical care, the patient underwent extensive necrectomy of the tissues of the scrotum, penis, and soft tissues of the perineum. Extensive necrectomy is accompanied by a long healing period, which entails repeated surgical interventions using the VAC system.
