Abstract
Although amputation of the penis is a rare problem, a complete reconstruction of all penile structures should be attempted in one stage. This way the best chance for full rehabilitation of the patient can be achieved. A microsurgical reimplantation with microsurgical sutures of arteries, veins, nerves and urethra after total amputation of the penis is reported. Eight months after surgery normal appearance and function, including a good urine flow and absence of urethral stricture, capability of erection and nearly normal sensitivity, was found.Entities:
