Successful delayed treatment of acute glans penis ischaemia after adult circumcision: a case report
Abstract
Penile glans ischaemia post-circumcision is very rare. A 20-year-old male presented with glans ischaemia following an elective circumcision and was successfully treated with a combination of subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin 0.5 mg·kg⁻¹ twice-daily, oral Tadalafil 5 mg once-daily for three days and 12 hyperbaric oxygen treatments at 243 kPa (2.4 atmospheres absolute) beginning 48 hours after the onset of ischaemia.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
