Abstract:
Penile amputation is quite rare and requires emergency reimplantation by using microvascular surgery. Herein we report a case of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally has his penis amputated during circumcision. Emergency reimplantation was performed by using microvascular surgery. Thereafter partial necrosis of glans penis and distal penile skin was noted So penoplasty by using scrotal skin was done to restore normal shape penis. After 6 months later, normal erection and sensation were restored.
