Abstract
Thailand recently experienced an epidemic of penile amputations. These were usually
performed by angry wives on philandering husbands. This outbreak appeared to have
been fueled by graphic press reports and fortunately seems to have abated. A technique
for reanastomosis of the amputated penile segment was first described by McRoberts
et al [5] in 1968. It was modified further so that it can be performed in any general
hospital with an acceptable result. Experience with this procedure in 18 patients
has been described.
