ABSTRACT
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.

Cystic hygromas are congenital malformations affecting the lymphatic system. These are rare benign dyssembryoplastic lesions mainly affecting the head and neck, in particular the posterior triangle of the neck. They usually occur during childhood and exceptionally in adults. We here report a clinical case of cystic hygroma of the neck in a 22-year old subject.

Meckel's diverticulum is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric channel. Diverticulum may result in perforation, inflammation an even in occlusion. We here report the case of a 30-year old man, hospitalized and treated for bowel obstruction at the university clinics of Lubumbashi. Intraoperative findings showed small bowel volvulus due to Meckel's diverticulum associated with intestinal necrosis. Patient's outcome was favorable after surgery.
