Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Penile strangulation is a rare urological emergency that necessitates urgent management. The reasoning behind it may include sexual pleasure, erection reinforcement, or a psychiatric disorder. CASE PRESENTATION: Despite being an uncommon complication of penile strangulation, we report a 45-year-old prison inmate who presented with penile shaft necrosis secondary to using a non-metallic constriction object. The patient reported a 5-day history of progressive penile pain, edema, and skin injury but no urinary symptoms. The patient underwent complete penile skin degloving, circumcision, and insertion of a suprapubic catheter. Postoperatively, the penile tissue appeared healthy, and the wound was granulating. On the eleventh day following degloving, a full-thickness skin graft was taken from the groin area. The patient remained in the hospital for 20 days, during which he was clinically stable with clean, healing wounds. CONCLUSION: Early management of penile strangulation is vital in order to prevent vascular and mechanical complications.
