Abstrakt: Penile incarceration with a foreign body is a rare urological emergency necessitating prompt intervention. We present a 59-year-old patient who entrapped penis and right testicle with metal thread reducer for sexual arousal four days prior to admission to Emergency room. Ultrasound revealed significantly reduced Color Doppler signal in right testicle and completely absent signal in penile artery. After admission metal reducer was removed using a hacksaw in analgosedation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed penile ishemic changes. Patient had reduction of penile swelling and parts of the skin highly suspected of necrosis recovered fully with preserved sensations. Despite penile ischemia on magnetic resonance imaging patient had full recovery obtaining normal erections. Patient was discharged six days after admission, presenting with  normal International Index Erectile Function on follow up exam.
