Abstract

Penile gangrene is a rare but serious pathology. The etiologies are diverse, mainly diabetes and immunosuppression. We report the case of a 61-year-old patient, diabetic and chronic smoker, who presented with penile necrosis and had benefited from conservative treatment after two surgical necrosectomy procedures. The evolution was favorable with resumption of urinary and genital function after healing.

Keywords: Penile Gangrene; Conservative Treatment; Peripheral Arterial Disease
