Circumcision is one of the important public surgeries performed globally. It is a popular non-therapeutic procedure that can be performed by people of various abilities and skills, ranging from trained medical practitioners to non-specialists, depending on their cultural and social backgrounds. Consequently, this surgery may cause varying types and frequencies of complications. Glans amputation and death due to severe bleeding, as a complication of this procedure, are rare, and the patients are left with morbidity and life-long complications. Here, we describe two cases of catastrophic complications due to ritual circumcision (one penile glans amputation and one death).
包皮环切术是全球范围内开展的重要公共外科手术之一。这是一种常见的非治疗性手术，根据不同的文化和社会背景，从训练有素的医学从业者到非专科医生等具备各种能力和技能的人都可以进行。因此，该手术可能会导致不同类型和频率的并发症。作为该手术的并发症，因严重出血导致的龟头切除和死亡较为罕见，患者会留下伤残和终身并发症。在此，我们描述两例因宗教仪式包皮环切术导致的灾难性并发症（一例龟头切除和一例死亡）。
