A modified Shang Ring circumcision surgical technique under local anesthesia for penile torsion in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Penile torsion is a congenital condition characterized by the rotation of the penis along its longitudinal axis. This study aimed to describe a modified Shang Ring circumcision (SRC) surgical technique as a simple and effective approach for correcting penile torsion in children under local anesthesia.

Methods

From July 2018 to August 2023, 20 male children with penile torsion underwent the modified SRC technique under local anesthesia, performed by the same surgeon (S.Z.). In our technique, the inner ring of the Shang Ring is placed over the glans penis, while the outer ring is positioned over the outer layer of the foreskin and secured by the first notch of the outer ring.
