Abstract

Penile strangulation and entrapment is an unusual acute urologic emergency with a potential for serious complication. It can occur in adults and children. Penile incarceration from metallic and non-metallic objects has been reported since 1755. Patients present with various grades of penile injury & treatment varies with the grade at presentation. Removal of the offending objects can be cumbersome and tricky at times. We present a case and review the treatment options in such situations.
