Abstract
Penile strangulation is one of severe damaging injury which may cause organ loss. It requires early intervention to avoid its disastrous sequelae. Removal of constricting objects is one of the challenging task in dealing with a case of penile strangulation by a metallic nut in a young age. It is an acute surgical emergency in which early intervention can preserve organ. We report a case where a 33 years young male admitted in our department with entrapment of penis with metallic nut. The constricting device was removed with degloving of penis and preservation of the organ. Amputaion and organ loss can be prevented by early intervention. Strangulation by entrapment of the penis is a rare conditions that require urgent relief for prevention of physical and psychological loss.
