| Popis: | Highlights • During tumescence the nutritive function is carried out by the dorsal artery running in the normal pressure zone outside the tunica albuginea. • Penile rings disrupt the nutritive function thus causing pathology. • Removal of penile rings can be effected under local anaesthesia. A patient presents with penile ring incarceration after using it for penile enlargement and prolonging tumescence. We present a case study of removal of the penile ring under local anaesthesia in a setting where cutting tools were inadequate. |
