60 cases of penile strangulation by human hair are reviewed. The condition has also been labelled ‘penile tourniquet syndrome’. It is worldwide in distribution and has been reported from many countries including Algeria, Egypt, England, Germany, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United States. Whether accidental, incidental to circumcision or intentional, it could lead to serious complications: urethral fistula, urethral stricture, penile deformity, gangrene and amputation. It is not always easily recognizable and the physician should keep it in mind whenever a boy, or even an older man, presents with unexplained swelling of the penis.

“…Yet, few reports about this peculiar entity are available in the literature and most of these are single case reports. The reported motives for placing an incarcerating object include attempted enhancement of sexual performance and heightening of sexual sensation and orgasm [2], self-treatment of erectile dysfunction [3,4,5] and psychiatric disorders [6,7] in adults, while in the pediatric population, this maneuver has been attempted for prevention of enuresis [8]. A plethora of objects have been reported like nuts, washers, plastic and steel rings, bottles, rubber bands, bottlenecks, ball-bearings and wedding rings.…”

Introduction: Penile strangulation from constricting metallic objects disorders is an uncommon urological emergency which requires prompt intervention to prevent complications. The treatment modalities are diverse and characterized by lack of consensus. Material and Methods: Three cases with penile incarceration due to constricting metallic objects who presented to our department were included in this study. All 3 patients required different management options highlighting the diversity of clinical presentation and need for customization of treatment as per the clinical scenario. Results: The 3 patients required different approach for treatment. First patient could be managed by degloving of penile skin while second patient required mechanical removal of the foreign body and debridement of local necrotic tissues. The third patient had to undergo excision of gangrenous penile skin and skin grafting. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the diversity of clinical presentations and the need for employing different surgical techniques to achieve the desired results.

Skin diseases of the male genitalia represent a diverse spectrum of maladies. Most cases fall into the differential diagnosis: fixed drug eruption, allergic/irritant contact dermatitis, infection, neoplasia/tumor, papulosquamous/systemic, and balanitides. A thorough history and physical examination defining the primary lesion, secondary changes, and distribution will establish most cutaneous diagnoses.
