Abstract
- Circumcision is the most frequently performed operation in the world. The incidence of complications is relatively low but not insignificant. We report a case of excessive penile necrosis in a 49-year-old man after self-circumcision with an unapproved device. The skin defect was corrected with bilateral pedicle scrotal skin flaps.
