Abstract
We report the case of a 73-year-old Parkinsonian patient, admitted to the emergency department of the Moulins yzeure hospital center, for penile lymphedema evolving for 7 hours after the voluntary placement of the rod in the neck of a plastic bottle to urinate in. The removal of this ring was immediately performed under general anesthesia in the OR after several attempts under local anesthesia that failed. Seven days later, the patient showed a marked improvement with regression of the skin signs, the skin was more supple and less infiltrated. At the exit the patient was programmed for a cold posthectomy. Through this observation and the data of the literature, we specify the management of this pathological situation and the associated complications.
