1.Introduction
Self-penile mutilation (SPM) is a rare urological emergency often
associated with psychiatric disorders. Penile mutilation in general may
result in life threatening hemorrhage therefore it requires immediate
surgical intervention [1,2,3].
The 1st SPM mentioned in the English literature was by
Strock in 1901 [4]. Many cases have been reported in African
countries like Kenya and Nigeria [5]. Self-inflicted injuries to
external genitalia range from small cuts and lacerations to more complex
injuries like penile amputation which is a serious challenge to the
urologist.
The gold standard treatment for penile amputation is early
reimplantation which if successful should yield satisfactory functional
and cosmetic results [1,2,3].
