Penile replantation.
Amputation of the penis is thankfully an uncommon injury. Because of its rarity, a uniform plan of management to deal with this difficult injury has yet to be agreed on. We describe a man who sustained such an injury and his subsequent clinical course. The relevant history and pertinent anatomy is highlighted. Additionally, a systematic approach to dealing with this devastating injury is presented.
