Abstract
The implantation of objects in the penis for aesthetic reasons or sexual pleasure is becoming more popular among specific socioethnic groups within both, non-Western and Western countries. The implantation and removal of penile implants is currently often performed unanaesthetised, and in unsterile conditions, putting men who undergo the practice at risk of complications. This paper describes a patient with an infection of the penis after self-removal of a penile implant, requiring urgent medical treatment. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
