It may also be performed for phimosis correction or the treatment of recurrent balanitis. Although circumcision is considered to be a technically easy and safe surgical procedure with no significant risk, it may lead to severe complications such as necrotizing fasciitis or total penis amputation. In this report, we present a case of penis amputation at two levels occurring with third-degree burns due to electrocautery during circumcision. Although penile replantation was attempted, it was unsuccessful due to burn damage to the veins. After restoration of the functional structures, the penis was buried in the inguinal area by reepithelization to maintain blood circulation. The recovery of the penis was successful. This case is presented as a novel example of groin flap surgery to achieve a functionally and aesthetically acceptable outcome in a salvage operation for a penis with significant traumatic injury, which has not been previously reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2013.40.3.247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,27]],"date-time":"2013-05-27T10:24:11Z","timestamp":1369650251000},"page":"247-250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A Salvage Operation for Total Penis Amputation Due to Circumcision"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Bilsev","family":"Ince","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Meram Medicine, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayse Ozlem","family":"Gundeslioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Meram Medicine, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-410x.1999.0830s1045.x","article-title":"Medical indications for circumcision","volume":"83","author":"AM Rickwood","year":"1999","journal-title":"BJU Int"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"155","article-title":"Bolgemizdeki sunnet komplikasyonlar\u0131","volume":"18","author":"I Gecit","year":"2011","journal-title":"Van T\u0131p Dergisi"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"824","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.58.6.824","article-title":"Neonatal circumcision: a ten-year overview: with comparison of the Gomco clamp and the Plastibell device","volume":"58","author":"WF Gee","year":"1976","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"434","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-1591.70589","article-title":"Successful microsurgical penile replantation following self amputation in a schizophrenic patient","volume":"26","author":"S Gyan","year":"2010","journal-title":"Indian J Urol"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"865489","article-title":"Spectacularly successful microsurgical penile replantation in an assaulted patient: one case report","volume":"2011","author":"MF Tazi","year":"2011","journal-title":"Case Rep Urol"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"376","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(83)90420-8","article-title":"Surgical management of an epidemic of penile amputations in Siam","volume":"146","author":"K Bhanganada","year":"1983","journal-title":"Am J Surg"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.4111\/kju.2011.52.2.147","article-title":"Amputation of glans penis: a rare circumcision complication and successful management with primary anastomosis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy","volume":"52","author":"G Faydaci","year":"2011","journal-title":"Korean J Urol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197759020-00023","article-title":"Successful clinical replantation of an amputated penis by microneurovascular repair.
