AbstractConstricting devices placed on the penis to improve sexual performance present a challenge to urologists. Various metallic and nonmetallic objects have been described -- plumbing cuffs, bull rings, wedding rings, plastic or rubber rings -- which usually could be removed by the combination of medical and operative treatment (decompression of the penis and glandular puncture) and craftsmen's techniques. We describe the case of a titanium thumb ring of 2 mm thickness which only could be removed by using an electric cutting tool.
