Résumé
An 11-year-old boy was referred to the emergency room (ER) because of a stab wound on the scrotum due to a tree trunk. The external genitalia computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 5-cm long stick that was stuck in his left hemiscrotum; however, the testis was normal. Scrotal exploration and debridement of non-viable tissue was performed, and no testicular or surrounding structure injury was found. At the postoperative evaluation 1 month later, the surgical wound and the patient's general condition were satisfactory.
