==Conclusion==
The medical literature has a number of reports of successful treatment of ischemia of the [[glans penis]]. But what of the cases in which treatment was not timely instituted and the case progressed to [[necrosis]] and [[gangrene ]] of the [[glans penis]]?
Ischemia of the glans penis after [[circumcision]] is not an act of God. It is an [[iatrogenic]] occurrence that happens when medical personnel intentionally sever blood vessels in the [[penis]] and reduce the blood circulation into and through the [[glans penis]].
}}</ref> Medical doctors should be aware than such cases may be viewed by a future court as malpractice.
The public is reminded that the usual infant [[circumcision]] does not cannot treat or cure disease, because disease is not present. It is classified as without medical indication, non-therapeutic, and medically-unnecessary, but puts the patient at risk.
