Introduction We present the case of a patient with penetrating penile injury caused by splintering floorboards in a gymnasium. Case presentation A 24‐year‐old man was brought to the emergency department of our hospital because of an unintentional penetrating penile injury sustained while playing volleyball at a gymnasium. He dove into the wooden floor to fly‐receive the ball. When sliding with his abdomen on the floor, a wooden splinter from the floorboard stuck from the base of his penis to near the glans penis. The splinter was gently removed without bleeding under local anesthesia. Conclusions Splintering floorboards in gymnasiums can cause serious trauma, including penile injuries. Health‐care workers and users of public facilities, such as gymnasiums, should be aware of the accident risk associated with wooden floors.

Introduction There is a wide range of problems associated with ejaculation, including decreased semen volume, vaginal ejaculation problems, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, hematospermia, and pain associated with ejaculation. However, there is no simple questionnaire that can comprehensively evaluate these ejaculatory functions. Objective In this study, we evaluated the overall ejaculation function of the patients in question using an originally developed ejaculation function score (Kimura and Shoji's Ejaculation Function Score). Methods We examined 20 patients who visited our sexual function outpatient clinic with a chief complaint of ejaculation. As a control group, we also examined 20 patients who had undergone vasectomy using the same score. The questionnaire consisted of the following five items (1) Awareness of sufficient momentum, (2) Pleasant sensation during ejaculation, (3) Presence of pain associated with ejaculation, (4) Presence of blood in semen, and (5) Perception of decreased semen volume. The total score was also evaluated. In addition, satisfaction with the current ejaculation was assessed. Results The mean age of the ejaculation disorder group was 43.5±15.1 years. The main complaints were decreased semen volume in 7 cases (35%), vaginal ejaculation disorder in 6 cases (30%), delayed ejaculation in 2 cases (10%), premature ejaculation in 2 cases (10%), lack of orgasm in 1 case (5%), and pain associated with ejaculation in 1 case (5%). The mean scores for each item were 1.5 for item 1, 1.8 for item 2, 3.0 for item 3, 3.0 for item 4, and 2.0 for item 5, resulting in a mean total score of 11.2. On the other hand, the mean age of the vasectomy group was 42.0±9.4 years, item 1 was 2.8, item 2 was 2.9, item 3 was 3.0, item 4 was 3.0, item 5 was 2.9, and the mean total score was 14.6. When the two groups were compared, significant differences were found except for items 3 and 4. There was also a significant difference in satisfaction of present ejaculation with mean scores of 1.3 and 2.9. As a result of examining the clinical severity and the total score, the total score of 5-6 was considered severe, 7-9 moderate, 10-13 mild ejaculation disorder, and 14-15 within the normal range. Conclusion Although our ejaculation function score is still in the developmental stage, we believe that it can be a screening tool for ejaculation function in practical medical care and self-assessment.

Objective This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of genitourinary injuries in pelvic fractures and elucidate the clinical outcomes of patients with pelvic fractures with and without genitourinary injuries at a tertiary trauma center in Japan. Methods Patients with pelvic fractures in our tertiary trauma center between May 2009 and April 2021 were retrospectively assessed. The patients' demographics, mechanism of injury, and hospital course details were collected. The outcomes of patients with pelvic fractures with and without genitourinary injuries were compared. Results Of 402 patients with pelvic fractures, 18 (4.5%) had genitourinary injuries. Falls were the most common mechanisms of injury for all pelvic fractures The incidence of bladder, kidney, urethral, and testis injuries were 2.0%, 1.2%, 1.2%, and 0.5%, respectively. Patients with genitourinary injuries were significantly younger (median age, 26 vs. 51 years; p < 0.001), had a higher rate of intensive care unit admission (94% vs. 58%; p = 0.002), remained hospitalized longer (median duration, 82 vs. 45 days; p < 0.001), and had a longer intensive care unit stay (median duration, 6 vs. 2 days; p < 0.001) when compared to patients without genitourinary injuries. Genitourinary injuries were not associated with in‐hospital mortality. Conclusions The incidence of genitourinary injuries with pelvic fractures was 4.5%. The presence of genitourinary injuries was associated with a higher rate of intensive care unit admission, longer hospital stay, and longer intensive care unit stay, but it was not associated with in‐hospital mortality.
