Circumcision refers to the removal of the skin covering the tip of the penis and is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in childhood.Even though circumcision is a well-standardized operation,several minor and major complications may be experienced by paediatric surgeons.Glans ischemia(GI)has been widely reported in the paediatric literature as a complication following circumcision.Nonetheless,etiopathogenesis of GI is not well defined and management guidelines are lacking.CASE SUMMARY We describe our experience with this rare and scary complication using subcutaneous enoxaparin alone or in association with a topical vasodilator.CONCLUSION Hypothetical causes and different management strategies are discussed.
