Abstract

The treatment of penile trauma is a vast topic that linearly correlates with the anatomopathology and the severity of the injury. It may just be a minor or intermediate intervention such as superficial wound suturing, zipper or constricting ring removal, and repair of a penile fracture, but may also consist of complex procedures such as penile replantation, reconstruction, or transplantation.
