Sumario:Penile incarceration from constricting metallic or non-metallic objects is a urological emergency which warrants immediate interventions to prevent undesirable sequalae. Various methods such as aspiration technique, string methods, cutting devices and surgery has been described in the literature but each case needs individualized approach due to lack of consensus in the management. We report a case in a 24-year male who incarcerated his penis with a metallic weight plate weighing around 3 kg. To our knowledge this is the first case reported in the literature where a heaviest constricting object was successfully removed via circumcoronal incision.
