title: Replantation of the complete external genitals.
abstract: Most cases of genital amputation represent an isolated penile amputation; the combined amputation of both penile and testes is reported very seldom. We describe a case of complete amputation of the external genitals with successful replantation and good functional outcome. The problem is analyzed with respect to operative strategy, ischemic periods, postoperative management, and psychiatric background. For the replantation of the testes, time frames are comparable to those for macroreplantations.
