TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Management of auto-emasculation in the psychotic state JO - Journal of urology A1 - Sanford, E. A1 - Acosta, R. A1 - Rayhack, J. A1 - Grzonka, R. A1 - Persky, L. SP - 560 EP - 562 VL - 145 IS - 3 N2 - We report 2 cases of self-inflicted penile amputations, which offered differing surgical options and contrasting surgical results due to varying time delays. In 1 case repair was done immediately, while repair in the other case was delayed by 3 days due to the psychotic state of the patient. The psychiatric backgrounds of such episodes are discussed, as well as the techniques of repair and reconstruction.
