Simple method of paraphimosis reduction revisited: Point of technique and review of the literature

Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency that has the potential for serious penile injury, including gangrene and tissue necrosis, if left unattended for a period of time. Multiple different techniques for reduction of paraphimosis have been proposed. We present a novel approach to paraphimosis reduction that utilizes CoFlex®, a flexible self-adhering bandage. We also present a detailed review of the literature of conservative management options for paraphimosis.
