Surgical repair of traumatic amputation of the glans

Paul Charlesworth et al. Urology. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

Traumatic amputation of the penis in the pediatric population is rare. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who, shortly after a plastibell circumcision, with the ring still in situ, experienced trauma to his glans, resulting in complete amputation. We describe our technique and outcome after surgical repair.
