We report an<br />interesting case of penile self-amputation that was performed and<br />surgically repaired by a nonpsychotic patient who was enrolled<br />in a clinical trial for androgen replacement therapy. Using sterile<br />technique for amputation of the glans penis and using cotton thread<br />to suture the wound, the patient was able to avoid hemorrhage<br />and infection. This is the first reported case of androgen therapy–<br />induced penile self-amputation with patient-performed surgical<br />reconstruction using primitive instruments.}, number={4}, journal={Canadian Urological Association Journal}, author={Roth, Kirk and Izard, Jason and Beiko, Darren}, year={2013}, month={May}, pages={E25-E28} }
