Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology
  • Medical Device Complications

Background:

  • Circumcision is a common procedure in many cultures.
  • The Plastibell device is frequently used for infant circumcision.
  • Ensuring proper device placement and follow-up is crucial for preventing complications.

Observation:

  • A case series involving three siblings undergoing simultaneous Plastibell circumcision by a non-medical operator is presented.
  • A complication involving proximal dislocation of the Plastibell ring was observed in all three cases.
  • The dislocated ring failed to detach within the expected timeframe.

Findings:

  • Proximal dislocation of the Plastibell ring is a potential complication.
  • Delayed ring detachment necessitates medical intervention, sometimes requiring general anesthesia for removal.

  • The complication occurred across siblings of varying ages circumcised concurrently.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers and parents should be aware of this specific Plastibell complication.
    • Informed parental observation is vital for early detection and intervention.
    • Standardized follow-up protocols may be necessary to mitigate risks associated with Plastibell circumcision.
