Extensive penile skin defect
Extensive penile skin defects/avulsion are unfortunate occurrences of male circumcision. Avulsion is the forcible tearing away of a body part by trauma or surgery.[1]
Bode et al. (2010) reported 23 very serious injuries from proximal migration of the Plastibell circumcision ring. There was extensive skin loss in 17(74%) babies. Urethrocutaneous fistulae were the result in nine (39%) of these cases, while partial necrosis of the glans penis occurred in four (17%).[2]
