Management of post-circumcision necrosis of the penis: the medicolegal aspect.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To perform a medical evaluation of penile necrosis causes and treatment approaches by examining patients who had penile necrosis after circumcision surgery. METHODS:A total of 24 patients with penile necrosis after circumcision surgery, who presented at various hospitals in Turkey between September 2003 and April 2013 and whose cases were being reviewed at the Institution of Forensic Medicine with regard to malpractice, were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS:The mean age of the patients was 5 ± 3.7 years, and the mean time of the necrosis diagnosis after circumcision was 5.2 ± 6.3 days. In etiologic terms, the predictive factors were monopolar cautery use in ten (41.6%) patients, post-circumcision infection in eight (33.3%), compartment syndrome due to post-circumcision dressing in three (12.5%), local anesthetic agent used for dorsal nerve blockage in two (8.3%), and methemoglobinemia in one (4.1%) patient. The first approaches to necrosis treatment were 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. CONCLUSION:Penile necrosis is a preventable complication that requires early intervention. The current study will be helpful in preventing penile necrosis and in guiding surgeons in approaches following its occurrence.
