Abstract

Read online

Although penile amputation is a rare injury, it may occur caused by self-mutilation with psychiatric disturbances and sexual need, or due to accidents, iatrogenic injuries or revenge and marriage breakdown. A case of successful penile glans replantation by macroscopic repair using vein blood-letting therapy is presented. This case report shows the surgical procedure and postoperative care which may be critical for successful replantation. Keywords: Penile, Amputation, Replantation, Blood-letting
