Complete penile amputation is perhaps the most tragic of all of the many complications of non-therapeutic infant circumcision. It refers to the total, complete ablation[1] or destruction of the penis by a surgical mishap. Penile ablation is said to be an extremely rare condition in advanced nations where circumcision is performed by trained medical doctors, but it is more common in developing nations where traditional circumcision is the usual practice.[2]

The former practice was to do "feminizing genitoplasty" or in other words, a sex-change operation on an infant boy,[3] however this was found to be unsatisfactory.[4]

Bradley et al. (1998) presented two cases of ablatio penis and discuss various ways of managing the condition.[5]

More recently, penile re-implantation using leech therapy has been described.[6]
