Retrospective analysis of 24 cases identifying five risk factors for post-circumcision penile necrosis: monopolar cautery, infection, compartment syndrome, local anesthetic use, and methemoglobinemia. Primary treatments include surgical intervention and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, emphasizing prevention and early recognition.

Key Takeaways

  • Monopolar cautery use is a key risk factor for post-circumcision penile necrosis; consider bipolar alternatives
  • Five predictive factors: monopolar cautery, infection, compartment syndrome, local anesthetic use, methemoglobinemia
  • Early surgical intervention and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are primary treatment modalities for penile necrosis
  • Post-circumcision penile necrosis is preventable with proper technique and early recognition of risk factors
