Abstract

Total amputation of the penis is a disfiguring, and functionally and psychologically disabling injury. We report a case of successful microvascular replantation following self-emasculation by a psychotic patient. The need for a multidisciplinary approach combining the expertise of such diverse disciplines as surgery, intensive care and psychiatry is emphasized.
