Purpose : To assess the clinical features and describe treatment difficulties associated with glandular amputation during circumcision in our daily urological practice in Senegal and to warn about the risks of this procedure, which remain underestimated in this country. Patients and Methods : The authors report a retrospective series of 19 patients who suffered glandular amputation during circumcision and who were admitted to their urology unit. The medical charts of patients hospitalised during this period were studied. Results : The mean age of these patients was 7.6 years. 84.2 of patients presented with complete glandular amputation. The mean time to consultation was 17.6 months generally in a context of urinary tract complications. Surgical treatment consisted of meatoplasty in 68.4 of cases. Four cases were treated by glandular reimplantation which unfortunately failed. Conclusion : The severity of this complication and the difficulties of management in our regions must encourage prevention.
