Successful microsurgical penile replantation after a workplace injury.
Microsurgical techniques offer the opportunity for successful replantation of the amputated penis. We report the case of a patient who sustained a traumatic penile amputation as a result of a workplace accident. Microsurgical replantation was achieved with combined urological and plastic surgical input.
