Abstract

We report a case of penile incarceration in a 53-year-old impotent man. The base of the penis was encircled by a metal ring in order to achieve better erection. There was marked oedema of the entire penis distal to the constricting ring. The metal ring was removed successfully by cutting it with a steel saw.
