RESUMEN
Penile strangulation is a rare pediatric urology emergency. A 13-year-old boy with no psychiatric history was referred to the university hospital 2 h after a metallic ring was self-placed over his penis. Under general anesthesia, a Gigli saw cut the cockring in two places. The patient was discharged home on postoperative day 1. He neither attended a consultation at the one-month follow-up nor saw a psychiatrist. Thirteen similar cases have been reported in children since 1975. We were the first team to use a Gigli saw in a child in our department.
