Abstract EN
Objective : The aim of this study is to revise the complications of circumcision and measures of their prevention.
Setting : Pediatric Surgery Unit, SMC.

The most common observed complications were redundant foreskin in 28 (46 %), followed by minor bleeding in 17 (28 %).
Five serious complications had been seen after clamp technique for circumcision (3 glanular trauma and 2 webbed penises).
Eleven minor complications were seen, nine occurred in pediatric surgery unit out of total of 600 circumcisions performed during the study period, 1.5 %.
