ABSTRACT

Introduction: Penile strangulation is a condition in which a foreign material compresses the penis, resulting in penile enlargement due to a circulatory disturbance.
Case Report: A 68-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital in order to undergo the removal of a metal ring that had strangled his penis. The ring was successfully removed using an airtime cutter. His penis showed no ischemic lesions at one week after removal.
Conclusion: We herein report a rare case of penile strangulation.

Keywords: Strangulation, Incarceration, Penile
