Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Penile amputation is an unusual situation reported globally as isolated cases and small series. It constitutes a urological emergency which requires microsurgical skills for the repair of the penis. We present a case of a penile amputation and discuss the management of this challenging condition. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old patient presented to the emergency room with total amputation of corpora cavernosa of the penis resulting from knife aggression. The patient underwent successful microsurgical replantation, demonstrating positive progression and satisfactory results. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Microneurovascular repair of penile amputation is the gold standard. Recommendations include a meticulous anastomosis, and a focus on vein anastomoses for optimal outcomes as well as associating a psychiatric approach. The PENIS score classifies the severity of lesion and predict postoperative complications and main outcomes. CONCLUSION: Penile amputation presents a distinctive challenge, necessitating microsurgical anastomosis, meticulous tissue management, and adherence to established protocols are imperative for effectively managing such intricate cases. Even in cases of posttraumatic partial penile amputation after a long period, can yield satisfactory morphofunctional outcomes.
