Sumario:Complete penile glans amputation is exceedingly rare in children with little known about the outcomes of management. We present a case of a 12-day-old male who underwent ritual circumcision complicated by total amputation of the glans, which was treated with reimplantation of the glans. Our technique was successfully carried out following reconstruction of anatomical planes with loop magnification and fine 7-0 sutures. We review the sparse literature in children and compare it to the techniques reported more commonly in adults.
