Strangulation injuries to the penis, also called incarceration injuries, are caused by hair, rubber bands, or other objects. [6] [7] Hair strangulation may be hard to diagnose due to the anatomy of the penis; the hair causing the strangulation may be hidden under the coronal sulcus if it is swollen. [8]
Baculum of a dog's penis; the arrow shows the urethral sulcus, which is the groove in which the urethra lies. Fossil baculum of a bear from the Miocene. The baculum (pl.: bacula), also known as the penis bone, penile bone, os penis, os genitale, [1] or os priapi, [2] is a bone in the penis of many placental mammals.
In human anatomy, the penis (/ ˈ p iː n ɪ s /; pl.: penises or penes; from the Latin pēnis, initially "tail" [1]) is an external sex organ (intromittent organ) through which males urinate and ejaculate. Together with the testes and surrounding structures, the penis functions as part of the male reproductive system.
In male human anatomy, the glans penis or penile glans, [1] commonly referred to as the glans, (/ ɡ l æ n z /; from Latin glans meaning "acorn") [2] is the bulbous structure at the distal end of the human penis that is the human male's most sensitive erogenous zone and primary anatomical source of sexual pleasure.
Buck's fascia (deep fascia of the penis, [1] [2] Gallaudet's fascia [3] or fascia of the penis) is a layer of deep fascia covering the three erectile bodies of the penis. [ 4 ] Structure
The suspensory ligament of the penis is a triangular midline structure anchoring the penis to the pubic symphysis, [1] holding the penis close to the pubic bone and supporting it during erection. [2] The ligament does not directly connect to the corpus cavernosum penis, but may still play a role in erectile dysfunction. [2]
Penile trauma can result from a blunt or penetrating injury, the latter being rarely investigated by imaging methods, almost always requiring immediate surgical exploration. In the erect penis, trauma results from stretching and narrowing of the tunica albuginea, which can undergo segmental rupture of one or both of the corpora cavernosa ...
Both the penis and testicles may be removed simultaneously using a sharp instrument, such as a knife or razor or swords. [2] [3] Non-crushing vascular clamps may also be used in medical surgery to cut off blood circulation and reduce bleeding. [4] Alternatively, the penis and testicles may be removed during a series of stages.
