Journal Title: Surgery & Case Studies: Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Circumcision is largely performed and is considered to be technically simple and safe but it may occasionally lead to important complications. Aim: To report the case of a patient who underwent a circumcision and presented a complication that obliged the use of skin grafts to recover the penis. Materials and Methods: A 12-year old boy with neurogenic bladder underwent a circumcision using Plastibell device and presented a fasciitis of the lower abdomen and perineum with necrosis of the skin of the penis. He was submitted to a new surgical intervention where skin grafts from the abdomen were used to cover the body of the penis Result: The cosmetic aspect of the penis was considered adequate at six months after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: The use of skin graft could be a good and reliable alternative for different conditions resulting in buried penis.
