Circumventing the Urologist: A Case of Poorly Executed Self-Circumcision

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF UROLOGICAL SURGERY - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

Circumcision is a relatively brief and safe procedure when performed by a medical professional. Recently, clamp-assisted circumcisions in the adult male have gained increased interest due to potential public health benefits. With the heightened interest has come an increased accessibility to such devices, creating the opportunity for ill-advised home attempts at circumcision by private citizens. To our knowledge, we present the first reported case of poorly executed self-circumcision in an adult male.2015-11-08
