Abstract

In this report, we describe a case of penile strangulation via metal rings. A 65-year-old Japanese man was transferred to the emergency room of our hospital for, dysuria and penile pain following penile incarceration with metal rings. Five metal rings approximately 30 mm in diameter were incarcerated to the penile root. Physical examination, revealed marked penile swelling distal to the rings. Various methods including the use of a ring cutter, were attempted to relieve the penial strangulation. However, these techniques failed, prompting referral to a rescue team. We started cutting the rings with an air cutter. After, 90 minutes, the rings were successfully removed. This study highlights the benefit of early cooperation with the rescue team in managing patients with mechanical penile strangulation.
