Penoscrotal Strangulation Caused by a Steel Ring: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Strangulation of the penis and scrotum by a constricting object has been rarely reported. AIM To describe a man with penoscrotal strangulation caused by a steel ring and its successful removal. METHODS A 28-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 7-hour history of a steel ring lodged at the base of his penis and scrotum. Removal was accomplished with the assistance of fire brigade personnel who used their hydraulic cable cutter to shear the ring. During the removal, there were no complications. RESULTS The hydraulic cable cutter avoided thermal injury and shortened removal time compared with procedures described in the literature. The patient's recovery was uneventful, with erectile function restored after 1 week. CONCLUSION Genital incarceration is an urgent clinical situation requiring prompt treatment. However, suitable tools for removing the foreign object are not readily available in emergency and urology departments. Cooperation with other disciplines, even non-medical disciplines, can result in creative and timely measures for removal of the object. Zhang J, Wang X, Zhang J, et al.
