Successful removal of a penoscrotal constricting ring in a 49-year-old male

Abstract

Placement of constricting devices around the penis and scrotum for autoerotic purposes or increasing sexual performance represents a well-known challenge for urologists and can result in serious complications. The removal of the constricting devices can be challenging and often requires resourcefulness and multidisciplinary approach. We report one case of successful removal of a penoscrotal constricting metal ring in a 49-year-old male using a hand-held orthopaedic saw under ketamine and midazolam sedation in the emergency department.
