The [[Plastibell]], [[Prepex]], and [[TARA 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. (2020) surveyed the medico-legal aspects of post-circumcision necrosis. Information on 24 cases was collected. The patients were treated for necrosis by surgical intervention in 15 (62.5%) patients, hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) in 6 (25%), the conservative approach in 2 (8.3%), and HBOT plus surgical intervention in 1 (4.1%) patient.<ref name="tasci2020">{{REFjournal
