The study aims to compare wound healing, wound healing complications, cosmetic outcome, and level of parental satisfaction amongst four techniques of neonatal circumcision.
Circumcision of a male child is the most common surgery performed globally. The prevalence of circumcision in this part of the world is over 80%, with the majority conducted in the neonatal period. The techniques of circumcision are diverse, and the method of circumcision may account for the differences in the outcome of the procedure.
Circumcision has complications like all surgical procedures. These typically include early complications such as leakage, hemorrhage, wound infection, pain, and swelling. However, more serious problems such as prolonged bleeding and amputation of the glans penis may also be encountered.
