Abstract
Penile glans ischaemia post-circumcision is very rare. A 20-year-old male presented with glans ischaemia following an elective circumcision and was successfully treated with a combination of subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin 0.5 mg·kg⁻¹ twice-daily, oral Tadalafil 5 mg once-daily for three days and 12 hyperbaric oxygen treatments at 243 kPa (2.4 atmospheres absolute) beginning 48 hours after the onset of ischaemia.
