Male genital self-mutilation is a physical selfinjury to the external genital, most often without
suicidal intent, which occurs in the majority of cases in a
psychotic setting but can be secondary to other
disorders such as erectile dysfunction and in transsexual
patients. Through a retrospective study of eight cases of
self-mutilation managed between January 2010 and
December 2020, we reviewed the characteristics,
psychopathological mechanisms responsible for this
condition as well as the urological and psychiatric
management modalities. In this study we reported a
series of male cases aged between 30 and 55 years, the
type of lesion was variable: 7 cases of total or partial
amputation of the penis and only one case of selfmutilation of the testicles. In total, 90% of the cases
studied had a psychiatric background, requiring
multidisciplinary management, especially by
psychiatrists. The surgical management was a
urethrostomy in 7 out of 8 cases. The evolution of the
patients who benefited from a re-implantation of the
penis was marked in most of the cases by the necrosis of
the re-implanted penis.
