Abstract
The case of a 19-year-old man who suffered a complication after attempting self-circumcision with a razor blade was presented. He performed self-circumcision without any anesthetic which resulted in a laceration and avulsion of the penile skin and foreskin. The patient presented with controlled local bleeding two hours after self-circumcision. He attempted self-circumcision due to feelings of shame considering the usual age range of circumcision in his local area. He was admitted to the operation room urgently. There was no significant bleeding, when the piece of cloth that had been used for tampon was untied. Initially, the necrotic tissue was removed, then circumcision and repair of the penile skin avulsion were performed. He was discharged two days after operation without any complication.
