GONZALEZ MALAGON, Jesús Ezequiel. Strangulation of radix penis. A case report. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.1, pp. 198-205. ISSN 1561-3194.

The strangulation of the radix penis requires urgent proceedings to avoid major lesions. A clinical case with bad pain, distal edema and loss of penis feeling, with the early diagnosis of strangulation of the radix penis due to a foreign body of degree-II was presented in the Emergency room of Urology at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital, Pinar del Rio. Several maneuvers with the available instruments were performed without obtaining satisfactory results where also orthopedic instruments were used to remove the foreign body. A secondary referral to orthopedics was required to use the adequate instruments to remove the foreign body, in order to provide good results without severe damages to the patient as well. Local proximal anesthesia was used before proceedings. Subsequently, the removal of the foreign body was satisfactory. A medical literature review was carried, where the object of the case was not mentioned, trying to simplify the different techniques to its resolution.
