Urol Int. 2007;78(1):10-2. doi: 10.1159/000096928.

Abstract

Microsurgical techniques offer the opportunity for successful replantation of the amputated penis. We report the case of a patient who sustained a traumatic penile amputation as a result of a workplace accident. Microsurgical replantation was achieved with combined urological and plastic surgical input.
