Background: Penoscrotal constriction devices are either used as autoerotic stimuli or to increase sexual pleasure or performance by maintaining an erection for a longer period, and a variety of metallic and non-metallic objects are used. On the other hand, penile strangulation is a rare urologic emergency that requires prompt evaluation and intervention to prevent long-term complications. The goal of treating penile incarceration is to remove the foreign object as soon as possible. On the other hand, removal can be very challenging, and often requires resourcefulness and a multidisciplinary approach.
Case Summary: A 47-year-old man who has sex with men was transferred to our hospital for persistent phallodynia and scrotal pain, accompanying swelling due to strangulation by stainless steel rings. His medical history included acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. One day prior, he had put three stainless steel rings on his penis and scrotum before sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse, he was unable to remove them, due to swelling of his penis and scrotum. The swelling persisted, and he felt pain in the affected area the next day, then he was transferred to our hospital by ambulance. The emergency department found that his penis and scrotum were markedly engorged and swollen. We established a diagnosis of penile and scrotal strangulation by stainless steel rings. We unsuccessfully attempted to cut the rings using a cutter, then requested a rescue team emergency medical service. They cut through each ring in two places, using an electric-powered angle grinder, and successfully removed all of the pieces. Finally, he was discharged and went home.
Conclusion: We report the first case of penile and scrotal strangulation by stainless steel rings in an human immunodeficiency virus positive person.
