A case of traumatic avulsion of penile skin with amputation of the penis and sectioning of the urethra is described.
METHODS/RESULTS: Surgical management included embedding the penis without scrotal skin and subsequent reconstruction utilizing scrotal skin. The patient has recovered sexual activity, although sensitivity has been reduced as a consequence of penile amputation. Six months postoperatively, the patient has reported orgasm during intercourse.
The surgical technique of embedding the penis is safe and preserves elasticity for subsequent reconstruction of the urethral meatus.
