[PENILE STRANGULATION CAUSED BY A METALLIC RING SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY PENILE PUNCTURE PLUS BLOOD REMOVAL INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THE RING].

A 63-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of penile swelling caused by metallic ring entrapment in the penis. He had put the ring around his penis 4 hours prior and was subsequently unable to remove it. We attempted to remove the ring using a ring cutter but that was unsuccessful.
