Successful Glans Reimplantation in a Case of Hair Tourniquet Syndrome of Penis
Hair tourniquet syndrome (HTS) may commonly involve a genital structure causing strangulation and ischemic changes. The current standard of care for penile HTS leading to amputation is microsurgical reimplantation with approximation of the urethra, corporal bodies, and dorsal vein and artery anastomosis. In our case of delayed presentation of HTS of the glans penis, we did a nonmicrosurgical reimplantation which has shown satisfactory results.
