Surgical repair of genital injuries after sexual abuse

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Although most of genital injuries due to sexual assault do not require any major surgical intervention, there is a lack of good quality evidence regarding the best diagnostic and surgical approach to restore deep lesions of genital organs as well lack evidence on contributors to poor wound healing. Therefore, clinical protocols that standardize examination as well as surgical management are encouraged to be developed.
