Clinical Trial Summary

Since circumcision is a significant workload for surgeons working at the rural state hospitals in Turkey, the use of circumcision techniques that are easy to implement and have low complications is becoming widespread. This research will examine short and long-term complications of male circumcisions using thermocautery technique in light of current literature.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients who were circumcised between May 2014 and May 2016 at the Pediatric Surgery and Urology Clinics at Yuksekova State Hospital were retrospectively analyzed through the hospital registry system. Patients who underwent circumcision with thermocautery technique were examined in terms of age, duration of circumcision and complication rates. Complications were classified as perioperative (bleeding during the circumcision or under observation at the hospital after circumcision that required knotting or cauterization, scrotum or penile injury), early postoperative (first 10 days after being discharged) and long-term (late postoperative = after 10 days) (skin-mucosal bridge, delayed wound healing, secondary phimosis, meatitis).

Patients were discharged after being kept under observation for 1 hour after circumcision. Patients were suggested to apply routine warm sitting bath, daily dressing and the patients with phimosis opening were suggested to apply epithelizing cream. On the 10th postoperative day, all patients were called for control. Patients who developed complications were included in long-term follow-up. Complications were treated.

Statistical analysis: The data obtained from the study were transferred to a computer environment and evaluated with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 19.0. Chi-square test was used to evaluate categorical data and Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate quantitative variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. ;
