Abstract:
Strangulation developed after applying constricting objects around the penis is occasionally encountered in the emergency room. As this kind of strangulation can result in penile gangrene or urethral injury, removal of constricting objects should be urgent and presents a great challenge to the physician. We report a case of urinary retention and sepsis due to penile strangulation by metal ring in a 68-year-old man and review the literature.
