An Extreme Complication of Circumcision: Necrotizing Fasciitis

Abstract

Circumcision is one of the oldest surgical procedures. It is performed frequently for religious, prophylactic and immediate medical indications. It is a surgical procedure that requires maximum care and it must be performed by licensed surgeons in hospital conditions. Although it seems like a short and easy operation to perform, it can result with serious complications. In this study, we report a case with a near total penile shaft necrosis and necrotizing fasciitis and we want to take attention to this serious complication of circumcision.
