Abstract:
Circumcision is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world. Its complication rate is extremely low when performed by a trained surgeon, but the majority of circumcisions done for religious reasons in India, Africa, and Arab states are performed by traditional practitioners 1 and have a high complication rate. We present the case of five-year-old boy who developed gangrene of the glans requiring amputation after such a procedure.
