, Janelle A. Fox b, Brian H. Gander c, Lorelei J. Grunwaldt c, Glenn M. Cannon aAbstract |
Circumcision is the most common surgical procedure in males in the United States, and minor complications are not uncommon. Major complications like partial penile amputations have been reported with successful replantation. Complete penile amputations in adult males have been described, and successful replantation has been reported with increasing success.

To our knowledge this is the first time leech therapy has been used postoperatively for neonatal penile amputation.
