Genitalia strangulation--fireman to the rescue!
The incidence of metallic rings causing genitalia strangulation has been widely reported. The removal of the constricting rings can be challenging and might need resources not usually available in the hospital. We report one such case where the assistance of a fire crew was required to remove the ring.
