Penile amputation is a rare deformity mostly resulting from self-mutilation, felonious assault, or accidental trauma, and penile reconstruction or phalloplasty is necessary when microreplantation cannot be performed. Here we report a rare case of a 42-year-old man with traumatic penile amputation and describe surgical techniques for partial penile reconstruction by using a novel innervated and vascularized radial thenar flap free grafting method. Excellent cosmetic and functional results were reported with no severe complications of dysuria, urethral stricture, and urinary fistula were observed during the 23 months of postoperative follow-up time. It is believed that innervated and vascularized radial thenar flap free grafting is an acceptable treatment option for patients with traumatic penile amputation.

Article Synopsis
- Penile amputation is a rare but serious urological emergency that can result from various factors, necessitating advanced microsurgical techniques for successful reattachment to restore function and appearance.
- *Recent advancements in microsurgery have improved the outcomes of penile replantation by allowing precise reconnections of blood vessels and nerves, which are essential for maintaining erectile function and sensation.
- *A review of 46 cases identified common complications like postoperative necrosis (56.5%) and emphasized the importance of quick vascular repairs, while also suggesting new treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the need for standardized protocols to improve outcomes and patient quality of life.

Introduction: To date, there are only case reports of penile amputation, a rare urological emergency with a low-treatment successful rate, and there are still no advanced, detailed surgical or perioperative treatment plans. Effective treatments for these rare diseases are urgently needed.
Method: The researchers summarized the perioperative experience of 20 patients who underwent replantation after complete penile amputation at several hospitals over the past 5 years and shared experience in detail.
Background: Penile tumors are rare in dogs and only single case reports or small case series have been reported.
Case Description: An 11-year-old, cross-breed dog was presented for a two-week history of stranguria. At physical examination, a subcutaneous swelling of the penis was detected.
