Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Penile entrapment with strangulation is a unique clinical entity which has remained a challenge because of lack of standard treatment modality. Treatment of reported cases has been based on an individual physicians approach depending upon the circumstances and facilities available. Some of these are cumbersome and some involve use of non-medical facilities. We report a novel simple surgical approach used in the management of a case of penile entrapment.
Case Report: A 16-year-old male adolescent presented with four days history of entrapment of his penile shaft in a hard steel metal ring. There was associated swelling of penile shaft distal to the ring with progressive diminution of urine stream. All initial attempts for removing mettalic ring were abortive till surgical degloving of penile shaft was done in the operating room with immediate reduction of swelling and removal of constricting ring intact. There was no postoperative complication and outcome was satisfactory. Conclusion: Constricting device on a penile shaft can be removed by a simple surgical technique avoiding some of the cumbersome modalities earlier reported. | |
