Circumcision is a commonly performed surgical procedure both in childhood and in adults. Acute ischemia of the glans penis after circumcision is a rare but hazardous complication. If left untreated, it can lead to severe consequences such as blackish discolouration due to ischemia, necrosis, or rare organ loss. Herein, we report a case of a 30-year-old male who underwent circumcision for phimosis, following which, he developed ischemia of the glans penis that was managed with timely diagnosis, topical application of warm saline, and oral pentoxifylline. We report the need for a prompt diagnosis and early intervention and also highlight the possibility of dreadful sequelae if left undiagnosed or untreated.
包皮环切术在儿童和成人中都是一种常见的外科手术。包皮环切术后阴茎头急性缺血是一种罕见但危险的并发症。如果不进行治疗，可能会导致严重后果，如因缺血、坏死导致的发黑变色，甚至罕见的器官丧失。在此，我们报告一例30岁男性因包茎接受包皮环切术，术后发生阴茎头缺血，经及时诊断、局部应用温盐水和口服己酮可可碱治疗。我们报告了及时诊断和早期干预的必要性，并强调了如果未被诊断或未得到治疗可能出现可怕后遗症的可能性。
