Amputation of the penis is a rare condition reported from various parts of the world as isolated cases ; the common aetiology is self-mutilating sharp amputation or an avulsion or crush injury in an industrial accident. A complete reconstruction of all penile structures should be attempted in one stage which provides the best chance for full rehabilitation of the patient. We report here a single case of near-total amputation of the penis, which was successfully reconstructed. 1. Campbell-Walsh Urology ( p-1025). 2. Jordan GH, Gilbert DA.
