Penile strangulation by a foreign body is an uncommon urological emergency.1 Previously reported mechanisms include metallic rings, washers, rubber bands, and hair tourniquets.2e4 These injuries classically lead to progressive edema, ischemia, and tissue necrosis and must be recognized and treated immediately in order to avoid irreversible tissue loss. The current body of literature often documents a detailed mechanism of injury in such cases; however, the progression of the injuries beyond initial presentation to include management and results in longitudinal follow-up are rarely captured.3,4 Our report addresses the full care episode and follow-up of a unique case of penile strangulation injury.
