Replantation of the penis: a patient report.
Replantation of the penis is an unusual case in this country and it is unlikely that most plastic and reconstructive surgeons or urologists will see one during their career. A successful repair of a self-inflicted amputation of the penis is presented. The unique anatomy of the penis pertinent to replantation is reviewed, and current concepts and recommendations in performing replantation of the penis are presented.
