Abstract
A trapped penile ring is a urological emergency rarely seen. An impacted ring in penis
is a real emergency uncommonly faced by a urologist. Emergent removal of the penile
ring is indicated to prevent gangrene and damage to the penis. The insertion of these
rings for autoerotic purposes is not uncommon. However, this can lead to impacted,
stuck articles, rings in the penis. These patients present with symptoms ranging from
mild penile pain, swelling to gangrenous changes in the penis. The removal of ring
constricting penis is a penile-saving procedure. We describe a patient with a stuck
ring in the penis and the technique of removal of the impacted penile ring by a household
device plier. In case of emergency, the pliers are a useful tool for removing a strangulating
penile ring
