From Entrapment to Recovery: Resolution of Penile Strangulation from a Double-wall Metal Ring - a Case Report and Review
Penile entrapment due to a constricting ring is a rare urological emergency requiring prompt intervention to prevent irreversible tissue damage.A 60-year-old male presented with penile swelling and pain, two days after a metal ring became entrapped.Examination revealed severe swelling and preputial skin necrosis.Under local anesthesia, the ring was successfully cut using a K-wire cutter and a small-handled saw with appropriate support placed beneath the ring.One-week post-procedure, penile skin debridement was performed.The patient recovered successfully, and followup showed normal Doppler parameters.This case emphasizes the importance of early intervention and managing penile entrapment.
