Abstract
- A case of penile replantation is reported in which a 37-year-old man suffered a self-inflicted complete penile amputation. Replantation was successfully performed; at 3 months after surgery, a urethrocystogram demonstrated the absence of urethral stricture. Although complete erection has yet to be obtained, no other functional impairments have been encountered at 7 months after replantation. Reconstruction of the venous system is considered to be one of the most important factors in achieving a successful penile replantation.
