description Traumatic penile amputation is a rare urologic emergency, more so in the pediatric population. It can result in significant consequences concerning function, appearance, psychological effects, and the overall quality of life. Immediate management should be initiated to salvage the amputated penis. We report a case of a four-year-old boy with a traumatic glans penis amputation caused by a sliding door accident. Successful composite grafting of the glans penis was done with an excellent functional and aesthetic outcome. This case highlights composite grafting as a viable option if microvascular replantation of penile amputation is deemed not feasible. Composite grafting is favorable if the grafted tissue is less than 2cm in size and the tissue is not crushed or contused.
