Abstract:
Generally, traumatic penile amputation is rare. Amputation of penis is likely to be self-inflicted most commonly. When penis is amputated, reimplantation requires microvascular surgery. Herein we present a case of successful reimplantation of completely amputated penis in 40 years old schizophrenia.
