It is associated with the impairment of physiological functions and deterioration in patients\u2019 quality of life. Currently, the relevance of age demographics in the occurrence of this debilitating injury has not been well discussed. The objective of this study was to provide a scoping review of penile trauma within the lens of the legal age of maturity. A search of the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted, and then, the identified publications were used to conduct this scoping review focussing on the study aim. The results identified were categorised into five themes. This included publication information (author, year, country, study duration); demographic information (age of presentation, number of patients, relative burden); penile trauma clinical pattern (type, severity, associated injury), risk factors and clinical consequences. While mobile and active young adults were at risk of outdoor trauma, the report on penile trauma in the paediatric population is rare and usually focussed on sexual trauma. Penetrating trauma has been more extensively studied in comparison to blunt penile trauma despite the significance of the latter in the paediatric population. Injury severity classification is not available for most studies limiting their usefulness in the universal comparison of trauma severity and injury prognostication. There is a diversity in the burden and presentation of penile trauma. Available research studies are limited in the paediatric population, mostly focussed on penile fracture in adults and generally devoid of a standardised penile trauma severity description. Additional studies with a specific focus on penile trauma are required to characterise aetiological risks and injury severity across the legal age of maturity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jwas.jwas_74_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,11]],"date-time":"2023-12-11T08:18:44Z","timestamp":1702282724000},"page":"5-16","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Penile trauma burden and aetiology in the paediatric and adult population: A scoping review and critical analysis of the literature"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Musliu Adetola","family":"Tolani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria"},{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robyn","family":"Webber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edinburgh Surgery Online, Deanery of Clinical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louise","family":"Buckley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edinburgh Surgery Online, Deanery of Clinical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"CIT0001-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.4236\/oju.2021.116019","article-title":"Taumatic emergencies of the external genital organs","volume":"11","author":"Patrice","year":"2021","journal-title":"Open J Urol"},{"key":"CIT0002-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"553","DOI":"10.1007\/s11255-017-1526-x","article-title":"Injury to the male external genitalia: A comprehensive review","volume":"49","author":"Furr","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int Urol Nephrol"},{"key":"CIT0003-20240907","first-page":"925","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of acute urogenital and genitalia tract traumas: 10-year clinical experience","volume":"31","author":"Zou","year":"2015","journal-title":"Pak J Med Sci"},{"key":"CIT0004-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1134","DOI":"10.18203\/2320-6012.ijrms20181268","article-title":"Contemporary management of genitourinary injuries in a tertiary trauma centre in Nigeria","volume":"6","author":"Ofoha","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Res Med Sci"},{"key":"CIT0005-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ucl.2013.04.001","article-title":"Current epidemiology of genitourinary trauma","volume":"40","author":"McGeady","year":"2013","journal-title":"Urol Clin North Am"},{"key":"CIT0006-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.5492\/wjccm.v10.i6.377","article-title":"Management of genitourinary trauma \u2013 current evaluation from the sub-Saharan region: A systematic review","volume":"10","author":"Cassell","year":"2021","journal-title":"World J Crit Care Med"},{"key":"CIT0007-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"414","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2016.08.005","article-title":"Epidemiology of genitourinary injuries among male U.S. service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan: Early findings from the Trauma Outcomes and Urogenital Health (TOUGH) project","volume":"197","author":"Janak","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"CIT0008-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/ams2.636","article-title":"National patterns of injury and outcomes of gunshot wounds to the penis: A trauma quality programs retrospective cohort analysis","volume":"8","author":"Maxwell","year":"2021","journal-title":"Acute Med Surg"},{"key":"CIT0009-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3283","DOI":"10.1007\/s00345-020-03115-0","article-title":"Male genital trauma at a level 1 trauma center","volume":"38","author":"McCormick","year":"2020","journal-title":"World J Urol"},{"key":"CIT0010-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"001","DOI":"10.17352\/aur.000007","article-title":"Classification in the diagnosis and treatment of organ damage caused by urogenital trauma in children","volume":"4","author":"Cengiz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Arch Urol Res"},{"key":"CIT0011-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.9790\/0853-131046772","article-title":"Male external genital injuries;
