Abstract

A trapped penile ring is a urological emergency rarely seen. An impacted ring in penis is a real emergency uncommonly faced by a urologist. Emergent removal of the penile ring is indicated to prevent gangrene and damage to the penis. The insertion of these rings for autoerotic purposes is not uncommon. However, this can lead to impacted, stuck articles, rings in the penis. These patients present with symptoms ranging from mild penile pain, swelling to gangrenous changes in the penis. The removal of ring constricting penis is a penile-saving procedure. We describe a patient with a stuck ring in the penis and the technique of removal of the impacted penile ring by a household device plier. In case of emergency, the pliers are a useful tool for removing a strangulating penile ring
