ABSTRACT

Our study reveals that secondary phimosis is a complication requiring circumcision revision and may develop after circumcision made by non-physicians and out of the hospital or a health organization. Moreover, the study shows that sleeve resection technique circumcision is a safe and successful method for revision in the hospital. The limitations of our study are that it is retrospective and there is no control group.

The mean ages of 47 patients were 2.84 years (5 months-11 years). All of the patients had been circumcised under local anesthesia by a non-physician circumciser in the home environment. 37 patients were consulted in the first six months after circumcision, and the remaining 10 patients were consulted in the later period (6 months-8 years). It was found in all patients that both penile skin and mucous was left longer than usual and fibrotic ring which grew out during the healing tightened the glans penis. All disorders were corrected surgically. None of the patients in the early and late postoperative follow-up showed any complications.

The data of 47 patients revised because of secondary phimosis developing after circumcision were analyzed retrospectively. The demographic data of the patients were evaluated.
