Constrictive penile band injury: anatomical and reconstructive considerations. 1987

M L Stoller, and T F Lue, and J W McAninch

Cases of constrictive penile band injury are seen often in the emergency room, and most require only removal of the constriction and conservative management. Occasionally, patients present with long-standing constriction, necrosis of the penile tissue and urethral injury. We report 2 such cases. We believe that a thorough understanding of the penile anatomy, aggressive debridement, skin grafting and temporary urinary diversion are essential for successful management of these severe cases.
