ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: A case of traumatic avulsion of penile skin with amputation of the penis and sectioning of the urethra is described. METHODS/RESULTS: Surgical management included embedding the penis without scrotal skin and subsequent reconstruction utilizing scrotal skin. The patient has recovered sexual activity, although sensitivity has been reduced as a consequence of penile amputation. Six months postoperatively, the patient has reported orgasm during intercourse. CONCLUSIONS: The surgical technique of embedding the penis is safe and preserves elasticity for subsequent reconstruction of the urethral meatus.
