Abstract

Penetrating trauma to the male genital organs, especially involving a foreign body, is an unusual but critical clinical scenario with potential consequences for sexual health, urinary function, and the patient's quality of life. When such injuries occur in the context of a road traffic accident, the complexity of their management is further heightened. This case report presents a unique case of a 26-year-old motorcyclist who suffered open trauma from a 5 cm metallic foreign body projecting at the base of the penis following a car collision. The clinical evaluation, diagnostic challenges, surgical approach, and successful outcome are discussed. Management of penetrating pelvic trauma requires a multidisciplinary approach, careful planning, and postoperative vigilance to minimize complications and promote healing. This case contributes valuable insights to the medical community, emphasizing the significance of imaging, precise surgical planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration for optimal patient care in such rare and severe injuries.
