The [[Plastibell]] , [[Prepex]], and [[PrepexTARA KLamp]] circumcision devices intentionally cause necrosis of the foreskin by ischaemia, which causes the [[foreskin]] to die and fall off. Necrosis is a complication of [[circumcision]]. [[Rosemary Romberg]] (2021) reported necrosis of the glans due to overly tight bandage or a Plastibell ring that was too small.<ref>{{REFbook |last=Romberg |first=Rosemary |init= |author-link=Rosemary Romberg |year=2021 |title=Circumcision — The Painful Dilemma |url=https://circumcisionthepainfuldilemma.wordpress.com/ |work= |editor=[[Ulf Dunkel]] |edition=Second Edition, Revised |volume= |chapter=Glans Necrosis |scope= |page=278 |pages= |location= |publisher=Kindle |ISBN=23: 979-8683021252 |quote= |accessdate=2023-08-31 |note=}}</ref> ==Therapy==Tasci et al.
