        <p>Background: Dog bites are prevalent in clinical practice and can lead to significant local and systemic infections, including tetanus and rabies. Injuries to the external genitalia, particularly the penis, are rare due to anatomical protection and defensive mechanisms, yet they require systematic management.&#13;
&#13;
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 41-year-old male who sustained a dog bite to the penis, resulting in a degloving injury, a longitudinal injury to the corpora spongiosum, and an incomplete urethral tear. Initial management included broad-spectrum antibiotics, tetanus and rabies prophylaxis, followed by surgical repair under spinal anesthesia. The patient underwent successful urethral repair and skin closure, with no postoperative complications observed. He was discharged with oral antibiotics and scheduled for outpatient follow-up.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: This case highlights the successful management of a complex penile dog bite through prompt medical intervention, appropriate surgical repair, and effective infection prophylaxis. It underscores the importance of a systematic approach in managing such rare injuries and contributes to the limited literature on adult penile dog bites. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor for potential complications.&#13;
