    Overzealous circumcision can lead to apparent microphallus. Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair, like skin grafting, are effective, but prevention through proper technique is paramount.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Circumcision is a common procedure in newborns.
    • Complications, though rare, can occur.
    • Accurate diagnosis of penile anomalies is crucial.

    Observation:

    • Presents three cases of apparent microphallus following circumcision.
    • These cases highlight potential iatrogenic complications.
    • Distinguishing true microphallus from post-circumcision changes is key.

    Findings:

    • Proper diagnosis can prevent unnecessary investigations.
    • Surgical reconstruction, including skin grafting, yields good functional and cosmetic outcomes.
    • Prevention is the most effective strategy.
