When the Battle for Optimal Penile Tumescence Ends Up in the Emergency Room: Erectile Boost or Dysfunction?

We report two cases of penile injuries among two patients as they presented to the emergency department simultaneously. The medical history revealed that they decided to run a contest to determine whose tumescence would be more long-lasting. For this purpose, the first patient used a metal ring and the second the neck of a plastic bottle. The metal ring was cut with a Dremel® cutting wheel (Racine, WI, USA) after the local fire department was called for assistance. We managed to remove the bottleneck with bone cutter forceps minutes before the arrival of the rescue team.
