TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Male genital self-amputation in the Middle East. A simple repair by anterior urethrostomy JO - Saudi medical journal A1 - Shirodkar, Samir S. A1 - Hammad, Fayez T. A1 - Qureshi, Naseem A. SP - 791 EP - 793 VL - 28 IS - 5 N2 - Genital self-mutilation, whether partial or complete, is a rare condition, which usually occurs in psychotic patients and occasionally has a religious background. The initial management of complete genital self-mutilation usually involves a formation of perineal urethrostomy or a more complex procedure to form a short penile stump. Here, we present a case of complete genital self-mutilation in a psychotic male who was managed with simple urethral spatulation to form an anterior urethrostomy.
