Strangulation of the penis by coil of hair is very uncommon. Left as such it can produce varying grades of injury to skin, urethra and glans. Simple removal of hair coil at early stage can prevent the dreadful complication. The author describes a series of 9 boys who presented with hair coil strangulation of penis. Four boys had superficial skin injury. The rest five presented with urethral fistula at the corona glandis. One stage repair was done in all cases with good results for repair of fistula. Overview of the literature and surgical technique is discussed.Downloads
