Necrosis means [d]eath of cells through injury or disease, especially in a localized area of a tissue or organ.[1]
The Plastibell and Prepex circumcision devices intentionally cause necrosis of the foreskin by ischaemia, which causes the foreskin to die and fall off.
Necrosis is a rare complication of circumcision.
Case reports
Sterenberg et al. (1981) reported a case of necrosis of the glans penis after ritual circumcision of a ten-day-old boy by a mohel. The boy had a blackened glans penis. He was hospitalized but the necrotic glans penis fell off.[2]
Aminsharifi et al. (2013) reported two cases of glans necrosis after circumcision.[3]
