    • "Possible benefits of childhood circumcision do not outweigh the reported complication rate"

      "In this material, 2.9% of the boys had acute complications after circumcision, but none septicaemia or major irreversible penile damage. An additional 2.2% had late complications during an 8-15-year follow-up period. These complication rates are in line with those reported by other comparable studies. Excessive bleeding is the most common acute complication, and a rate of 1.6% could be expected. Among late complications, skin bridges and insufficient removal of the foreskin are the most common complaints. Unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance may be an indication for re-operation, and MacCarthy et al reported this figure to be 1% in a British study. Insufficient excision of the foreskin and inner preputial epithelium may result in wound contraction and cicatrisation of distal foreskin. The fibrotic ring so produced may result in true phimosis, an event observed in 2% of the cases in another British series. Interestingly, we had 19 referral cases for excessive residual skin with or without phimosis issues".
