Abstract

Circumcision is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. As traditional ritual circumcisions are still practiced in the community, in Senegal the majority of circumcisions are performed in hospitals. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who underwent a total amputation of the glans after a circumcision in a pharmacy by an unqualified agent. A meatoplasty was performed and the postoperative course were uneventful.
