“…Cases of dysuria on buried glans penis have been reported by Crowley et al in South Africa, 13 Wilcken et al in a meta-analysis 2 and by Mohamed et al in Saudi Arabia. 14 Preventing these complications could involve not only promoting circumcisions by qualified health workers but also better nutrition for children.…”

Context: Traditional circumcision in early childhood is common in the Republic of Benin. This practice can be complicated by infection, hemorrhage and pathological scarring. Presentation of the case: We describe here a case of multiple complications made up of urinary tract infection, total buried glans penis and probable severe iron deficiency anemia in a 12-month-old subject, traditionally circumcised at 10 months of age by an unqualified agent, admitted in hospitalization for severe dysuria. The evolution under medical and surgical treatment was favorable. Conclusion: This case highlights the need to perform circumcisions by qualified health workers and in adequately nourished children.

“…The proposed pathogenesis of trapped penis derives from retracted and trapped residual foreskin into prepubic tissue by a narrowing scar, or cicatrix . The circumcision was usually performed improperly, with inadequate removal of the outside foreskin or the inner mucosal foreskin.…”

We discuss 11 cases of boys who presented with dermatologic complications of circumcision in an outpatient pediatric dermatology clinic. A medical practitioner had previously circumcised all patients during the newborn period. The majority of cases were found incidentally during initial thorough dermatologic examination. Late cutaneous complications included penile skin bridge, glandular adhesion of remnant foreskin, concealed penis, and a penile epidermal inclusion cyst. Minor surgical procedures under local anesthesia were performed in all but two cases. These cases should help dermatologists recognize the common late cutaneous complications of male newborn circumcision and provide insight into potential options for early intervention and management.

“…cases of sepsis which developed in our neonatal group during the first 2 weeks post-circumcision. Other complications [2,4,5,10,17,20] such as local infection, necrotizing fascitis, Fournier's gangrene, cyst, adhesions, poor cosmetic appearance, skin bridge, iatrogenic hypospadias or epispadias, meatal fulguration and penile amputation are reported more frequently after neonatal circumcision and may require attention by an experienced surgeon. All these data should weigh heavily against neonatal circumcision.…”
