Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic penile amputation is a rare but devastating injury.
  • Electrocution can cause severe tissue damage, including loss of penile structures.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old male presented with complete traumatic loss of the penis following an electrocution injury.
  • The remaining corpora cavernosa stumps were viable for reconstruction.

Findings:

  • Phalloplasty was successfully performed using the available penile stumps.
  • The reconstructed penis demonstrated satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the feasibility of penile reconstruction even after severe traumatic loss.
