SUMMARY— A retrospective study of 56 patients with penile injuries showed that 28 injuries were sustained during coitus and a further 12 in other sexual practices. Four different types of injury to the erectile mechanism are described and the management of each discussed. A modified phalloplasty technique is described for patients who have sustained a complete loss of the phallus.
