ABSTRACT = {A patient presented with a metal ring around the base of
his penis. The ring had been placed 3 years prior to
presentation. Intra-operative findings revealed a ventral
erosion with complete transection of the urethra and
massive fixed lymphedema of the penile skin distal to the
ring. Treatment consisted of removal of the ring with
metal shears and bolt cutters. Small reduction of the
edema was seen 3 months following removal, and the
patient refused further treatment. The most interesting
part of the outcome was the preservation of penile urethral
voiding although intromission was not possible.},
