Abstract
We report a case of bowel injury as a result of an isolated gunshot wound to the scrotum. Our experience with penetrating scrotal trauma reveals a high rate of associated injuries, the most common being trauma to the soft tissue of the thigh. Our case emphasizes the importance of a thorough preoperative and operative evaluation of patients with penetrating scrotal trauma.Keywords
