Abstract

During the 18 months of war in Croatia, from May 1991 to November 1992, 4425 wounded persons were treated at Osijek hospital in Croatia. 115 (2.6%) had urogenital injuries, including 32 cases (27.8%) of genital lesions, which were treated immediately after treatment of the associated visceral lesions. A conservative surgical attitude was adopted allowing preservation of wounded testes in almost one half of cases. A free rectus abdominis aponeurosis flap on the defect of the tunica albuginea gave good immediate results, but its secondary distension altered the aesthetic result and impaired erection.
