“…Treatment for dry gangrene is largely based on surgery; watchful waiting may be used to anticipate any spontaneous amputation of necrotic tissues or revascularization. 1 Conservative treatment is reserved for cases with small welldefined lesions 2,9 or in patients with a high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with generalized arterial disease. 10 Conservative treatment is often followed by surgical treatment by performing partial penectomy due to infection, liquefaction.…”

“…4 These surgical procedures can be performed independently or in sequence, considering the patient's comorbidities and wound conditions. 4,9 Penile revascularization is an option in patients. Treatment is determined based on selective angiography of the iliac arteries.…”

“…2 Some authors recommend circumcision when conservative treatment is undertaken to allow better monitoring and dry healing of wounds. 4,9 Surgical treatment options include dorsal slits, supra-pubic cystostomy, and urethral catheterization. In patients with voiding difficulties, debridement and partial or full penectomy is suggested.…”

AbstractPenile gangrene is rare and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can be dry or wet. Treatment for dry gangrene is based on surgery, watchful waiting allowing spontaneous amputation of necrotic tissue or revascularization. It often depends on the general condition of the patient. We report a case of a 54-year-old patient with no significant medical history who presented with necrosis of the glans penis. Upon surgical exploration, we found an elective necrosis of the entire corpus spongiosum for which partial penectomy was performed. No etiology was found. To our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported in the literature.

“…Penile ischaemia and gangrene can be caused by penile prosthesis, long-standing diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure or end-stage atherosclerosis. 1 The excellent collateral circulation of the perineum and lower abdomen supplying the penis makes compromise of the blood supply almost impossible except under unusual conditions. 2 Since few cases have been reported in the urological literature, it is difficult to assess the rate of such a devastating complication after the penile prosthesis implantation.…”

“…De esta patología se han descrito muy pocos casos en pacientes sometidos a diálisis; en estos pueden estar asociados, en ocasiones, la diabetes mellitus, los embolismos de colesterol y la calcifilaxis (este término se refiere a aterosclerosis que va acompañada de calcificación de los pequeños vasos sanguíneos) 1,2 . Esta entidad se desarrolla de forma infrecuente debido a la gran circulación colateral del periné y el abdomen inferior 1,3 .…”
