A young boy whose penis was accidentally severed during a mass circumcision ceremony in Riau underwent a second operation over the weekend to reattach his organ.

Nazrul Edy, a spokesman for Awal Bross Hospital in the provincial capital, Pekanbaru, told the Jakarta Globe on Monday that Sunday’s procedure “went very well,” though he was quick to add that it was still to early to determine if there would be any permanent damage.

Reports said the incident occurred when the victim, identified as 9-year-old Komaruddin, attended the ceremony in Rengat subdistrict, Indragiri Hulu, on July 6.

Initially, only 100 boys were registered to take part in the ceremony, organized by the provincial welfare agency, but 170 children arrived, overwhelming about 20 medical workers and doctors, reports said.

As Komaruddin was undergoing the procedure a tragic slip of the laser-cutting device occurred, removing the penis instead of the foreskin. The incident caused panic among those participating in the ceremony, which was canceled with only 70 boys having undergone the procedure.

An initial attempt to reattach Komaruddin’s severed organ at Rengat General Hospital on the same day as the accident was not completely successful, and four days later he was transferred to Awal Bross.

Nazrul said it was too early to tell whether Komaruddin’s penis would function normally in the future.

He added that Komaruddin’s surgery was fully paid for by the Indragiri Hulu government.
