Introduction: Amputation of the penis is a rare traumatic injury reported from various parts of the world as isolated cases. A complete reconstruction of all penile structures should be attempted in one stage which provides the best chance for full rehabilitation of the patient.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 35-year-old Berber man who was admitted at the Emergency Department for incomplete criminal amputation of his penis, which was successfully reattached by using a macrosurgical technique. After surgery, near-normal appearance and function including a good urine flow and absence of urethral stricture, capability of erection and near normal sensitivity, were observed.
Conclusions: The importance of using macrosurgical reimplantation in incomplete penile amputation in order to achieve better functional and cosmetic results is discussed. In addition, we also highlight the potential anatomical role of corpus spongiosum in the arterial and venous blood supply to the penis.

Article Synopsis
- This review discusses the role of radiotherapy as a treatment option for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, emphasizing its effectiveness in preserving organs while managing tumors.
- Research indicates that radiotherapy can achieve tumor control rates similar to those of radical surgery, with specific techniques like brachytherapy showing high long-term survival rates, especially for smaller tumors.
- The findings suggest that brachytherapy is generally the preferred approach, but it comes with some risks of side effects; thus, close collaboration among healthcare professionals is crucial for patient management and outcomes.
