SUCCESSFUL MICROSURGICAL PENILE REPLANTATION FOLLOWING AMPUTATION BY ASSAULT: ONE CASE REPORT

Penile amputation by assault or by any other cause including self inflicted is a rare urological/plastic surgery trauma for which immediate replantation is required. It is a highly specialized and challenging procedure that requires microsurgical techniques due to the small blood vessels and nerves involved. We present a case who presented to us in emergency department of Burns and Plastic Surgery Center, Peshawar, Pakistan with a history of assault, resulting in amputation at the base of penis. Microsurgically, the penis was replanted. After 6 weeks, the patient exhibited good urinary flow, morning erection and progressive sensory recovery.
