The spermatic cord was divided close to the skin, and
the skin of the penis and prepuce was torn. The soldier was left
as dead on the field, but after four months' treatment he
recovered.
Madden mentions a man of fifty who fell under the feet of a pair
of horses, and suffered avulsion of the testicles through the
scrotum. The organs were mangled, the spermatic cord was torn and
hung over the anus, and the penis was lacerated from the frenum
down. 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.
Recovery ensued, leaving a penis which measured, when flaccid,
three inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
There is a case reported of a man who had his testicles caught in
machinery while ginning cotton.
