Introduction: Penile compression using a tourniquet is common with several materials and designs that have been previously described. The objective of the tourniquet is to induce an artificial erection through corporal occlusion for intra-operative penile curvature assessment or to obtain a clear visible bloodless surgical field.

Objective: We sought to describe our novel step-by-step technique of applying penile tourniquet using silicone Penrose drain tube designed as a strap by creating a small hole on the side of the tube to obtain a loop at the base of the penis

Conclusions: This novel technique is simple, effective and requires no additional materials nor special equipment, and facilitates the application and release of a tourniquet during penile surgery.
