Penile glans amputation during circumcision is a tragic operator-related complication. Standard treatment is based on microsurgical reimplantation with vascular and nerve anastomosis. We here report two cases of penile glans amputation in two children. The first patient was aged five years and was admitted urgently after circumcision. Penile glans was reimplanted without microsurgical anastomosis within one hour of the date of the accident. The other patient was aged 11 years and was received 3 years of the date of the accident. During these three years he had received psychological therapy. He was scheduled for plastic surgery. In the first patient, urinary, sensitivity and cosmetic results of the glans were good as well as erectile function.

Article Synopsis
- This review discusses the role of radiotherapy as a treatment option for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, emphasizing its effectiveness in preserving organs while managing tumors.
- Research indicates that radiotherapy can achieve tumor control rates similar to those of radical surgery, with specific techniques like brachytherapy showing high long-term survival rates, especially for smaller tumors.
- The findings suggest that brachytherapy is generally the preferred approach, but it comes with some risks of side effects; thus, close collaboration among healthcare professionals is crucial for patient management and outcomes.
