Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER XIII
71/104

The man lost his testicles, but otherwise completely recovered.

Brugh reports an instance of injury to the genitalia in a boy of eighteen who was caught in a threshing-machine.

The skin of the penis and scrotum, and the tissue from the pubes and inguinal region were torn from the body.
Cicatrization and recovery were complete.

Brigham cites an analogous case in a youth of seventeen who was similarly caught in threshing machinery.

The skin of the penis and the scrotum was entirely torn away; both sphincters of the anus were lacerated, and the perineum was divested of its skin for a space 2 1/2 inches wide.
