Abstract:We review the etiology and the management strategy of genital burns. The incidence of genital burns ranges from 2.8 to 13%. Most are part of larger injuries. Scald burns are typical for children, whereas flame and chemical burns happen more often in adults. For first and second-degree genital burns, a conservative approach with physiological dressings and topical antimicrobials is advised. Only third degree burns need to be treated with removal of necrotic tissue and grafting. Indwelling catheters or suprapubic drainage systems must be avoided whenever possible.
