Background: Entrapment of prepuce in a zipper is a common cause of prepuceal injury in children. It is seen in boys of age group 5-12 years who usually do not wear underpants. About 80% of these injuries occur accidentally while zipping up.Methods: We reported 20 cases with zipper injury during our study period, which were divided in two groups. In Group A, Patients were managed by conventional techniques while in Group B; we managed patients with our technique of manipulation. Final Outcomes were compared with need of circumcision.Results: All patients in this study were male patients. All were from pediatric age group, except one case in Group A was Adult. In Group A, 7 patients (70%) required Circumcision while in Group B study, only 1 patient (10%) required circumcision. Moreover we found this technique more Simple and Easy.Conclusions: We found this technique very easy, less time consuming, less trauma to prepuce and need of Circumcision is less with this manipulation.

The treatment of external genitalia trauma is diverse according to the nature of trauma and injured anatomic site. The classification of trauma is important to establish a strategy of treatment; however, to date there has been less effort to make a classification for trauma of external genitalia. The classification of external trauma in male could be established by the nature of injury mechanism or anatomic site: accidental versus self-mutilation injury and penis versus penis plus scrotum or perineum. Accidental injury covers large portion of external genitalia trauma because of high prevalence and severity of this disease. The aim of this study is to summarize the mechanism and treatment of the traumatic injury of penis. This study is the first review describing the issue.
