    The full title of that entry is actually “Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents”, so maybe some of the men are actually the OB/GYN themselves that are getting injured in the course of their work? The raw number is only 19 cases, so I could see that being plausible

    Alternatively, with so few cases, could it be intersex people who are still categorised as male under whatever criteria this is using? 1.7% seems a touch high for that, but maybe things go wrong more often for said intersex people

    Edit: wait, 90 of the cases are 0-year-olds. I’m definitely going with injuries to babies during difficult births / C-sections / similar
