Abstract
Replantation of a penis with microsurgical repair of vessels and nerves can restore normal genitourinary function. A case is presented of an amputated penis that was ischemic for sixteen hours before being microsurgically revascularized. The patient has at all times appreciated having an intact penis despite the fact that the injury was self-inflicted. Self-mutilation is not considered to be an absolute contraindication to replantation.Entities:
