Anterior Urethral Laceration from a Human Bite

Chadwick Shirk et al. Clin Pract Cases Emerg Med. .

Abstract

Isolated anterior urethral injuries in males related to sexual activity have rarely been reported. Human bites to the penis are also rarely discussed in the medical literature. We report an isolated anterior urethral laceration in a male caused by a biting injury sustained during fellatio.
