Abstract

Incarceration or strangulation of the penis is a rare clinical situation
that requires emergent urologic management to prevent potentially
devastating outcomes. Many different techniques have been
described in the literature to remove genital foreign objects, but
there is no universally successful technique. We present an unusual
and challenging case involving incarceration of both the penis and
scrotum by multiple metallic rings that required operative removal
using an orthopedic high-speed drill.
