Abstract

Partial penile amputation in the pediatric age group is an emergency and occurs mainly due to iatrogenic trauma or road traffic accidents. Such lesions are incapacitating and have a devastating psychological impact. We present the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with an accidental, near-total penile amputation, and highlight our management plan as a favorable one.
