Abstract

We describe a new technique for immobilization and protection of the penis following microsurgical replantation, using a subcutaneous tunnel created in the suprapubic area. This tunnel protects the phallus from reinjury while maintaining an anatomic position and a normothermic environment in the immediate postoperative period.
