title: Microsurgical penis replantation after self-mutilation.
abstract: The microsurgical reattachment of a penis following self-amputation by a psychiatric patient is discussed. This is the 15th case reported in the literature. We have reviewed the previous reports and outline the management of penis amputation. The importance of using microsurgical techniques in order to achieve better functional and cosmetic results is discussed.
