The ring was cut using a manual ring cutter and K-wire, with full penile recovery on wound care followed by grafting in 6 months of follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A penile ring typically results in the constriction of the penile tissue with subsequent vascular compromise and development of complications. The principles of management of penile ring entrapment involves treating the underlying reason for penile ring application, removal of the ring, and managing complications. The options of removing the ring include sliding, cutting, and penile surgical interventions. The choice which option to use depends on the size of the constricting object, incarceration time, injury level, available instruments, and experience of expertise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eroticism, erectile dysfunctions, and underlying untreated psychiatric disorders are the most common reasons for penile ring insertion. Delayed ring removal due to embarrassment, psychiatric disorder, and multiple self-trials of ring removal at home can result in the development of complications. Prompt ring removal requires standard gadgets, a multidisciplinary approach, and local management protocols.<\/jats:p>\n
