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.
We describe our experience with this rare and scary complication using subcutaneous enoxaparin alone or in association with a topical vasodilator.
Hypothetical causes and different management strategies are discussed.
包皮环切术是指切除覆盖阴茎头的皮肤，是儿童期最常见的外科手术之一。尽管包皮环切术是一项标准化程度很高的手术，但小儿外科医生仍可能会遇到一些或轻或重的并发症。阴茎头缺血（GI）作为包皮环切术后的一种并发症，在儿科文献中已有广泛报道。然而，GI的病因尚不明确，且缺乏管理指南。
我们描述了单独使用皮下注射依诺肝素或联合局部血管扩张剂治疗这种罕见且可怕并发症的经验。
讨论了可能的病因及不同的管理策略。
