Abstract
Ritual circumcision has been practiced for cultural and religious reasons since antiquity in Egypt, then in Judaism and the Muslim world. The rite is also in use among certain Christian communities (especially in the East). In Mali the practice of circumcision is cultural and religious. In our current practices, complications related to this act are not frequent. We report here two cases of complications related to the act of circumcision received at the regional hospital center "Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes". These were aesthetic and infectious complications. The treatment was urethroplasty according to DUPAY and necrosectomy with controlled healing followed by scrotal plasty and removal of the penis. In Mali, circumcision is ritual. It exposes when it is practiced outside health structures or by unqualified personnel to sometimes formidable complications.
