[Replantation surgery of the penis. A case report]

By the case of a subtotal traumatical amputation of the penis seen in our services, we discuss the advantages of a replantation by microsurgical technique. After presentation of the operational procedure and the management of the postoperative course the results of a thorough examination by questioning, physical examination, neurological examination including EMG testing of the bulbo-cavernous-reflex, Rigiscan NTM and angiography of the penal arteries are discussed. A review of the literature shows the advantages of the microsurgical technique but also the astonishing results by the former, conventional technique which still presents a possibility if microsurgery is not available.
