    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Pediatric surgery

    Background:

    • The Plastibell device is commonly used for neonatal circumcision.
    • Retained Plastibell rings are a potential, though uncommon, complication following neonatal circumcision.

    Observation:

    • This report details 4 cases of neonates experiencing retained Plastibell rings.
    • The clinical presentation and management of these cases are described.

    Findings:

    • Retained Plastibell rings pose a potential risk requiring intervention.
    • Surgical removal was successfully achieved using standard wire cutters.
    • The majority of cases (3 out of 4) healed perfectly with local wound care.
    • One case resulted in slight scarring and ventral curvature, without the need for skin grafting.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and intervention are crucial for managing retained Plastibell rings.
    • Standard surgical tools are effective for ring removal.
    • Conservative local wound care is often sufficient for optimal outcomes, minimizing the need for complex reconstructive procedures.
