Surgical repair of traumatic amputation of the glans.
Traumatic amputation of the penis in the pediatric population is rare. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who, shortly after a plastibell circumcision, with the ring still in situ, experienced trauma to his glans, resulting in complete amputation. We describe our technique and outcome after surgical repair.
