Abstract
Impacted penile ring with strangulation injury is a challenging urological emergency. Our case is a 63 year old male with impacted penile ring for 5 days with loss of blood flow distal to impaction, skin necrosis, urethral erosion, purulent changes and features of sepsis. Removal of penile ring was attempted but was not successful. Partial amputation of penis was done following which patient had good recovery in post-operative period. Impacted penile ring can cause severe strangulation injury. Timely removal of impacted ring with minimal injury to penis is the core of management. Partial amputation of penis is a life saving measure in case of gangrene of penis with sepsis.
