Strangulation of the Penis by Self-circumcision Device: A Case Report / 대한남성과학회지

ABSTRACT

Penile strangulation developed by wearing metallic or non-metallic objects is unusual but potentially serious. We report a case of 33-year-old man who presented with penile strangulation after applying the device for self-circumcision. The device was removed and after debridement of the infected necrotic tissues and antibiotic therapy, conventional circumcision was performed. It is stressed that circumcision should be performed by urologists.
