Abstract:
Amputation of penis occurs most commonly as an act of self-emasculation. Fortunately, complete amputation of penis is quite rare but potentially devastating occurrence. Reimplantation of the penis has both cosmetic and functional objectives. Recently, several successful applications of microvascular technique to reimplantation of the amputated penis have been reported. Also herein, we present a case of successful reimplantation of completely amputated penis by using a microvascular repair.
