Avulsion is the term that refers to ripping away forcibly of a part or structure. In this case, the part or structure refers to the penis.

Avulsion of the penis may be the result of various devices or trauma or both.

The primary functions of the penis are copulation and urination. The effects on these functions will vary depending on the nature of the trauma.

The disorder is diagnosed by visual inspection.

The removed tissues should be maintained, chilled, and reapplied as swiftly as possible. Debridement of the wound should be done cautiously. Grafting the skin may be indicated.

Even a completely removed penis may be reattached successfully.
