Who should do the circumcision
A healthy circumcision should be done by a specialist doctor. Thus, many circumcision errors are prevented. The benefits of circumcision performed by a specialist doctor are as follows:
If the child has a disease such as non-stop blood (hemophilia), the side effects of this disease are prevented by the drugs given.
If it is done by a specialist doctor, the probability of wrong circumcision decreases. Since the surgical instruments are cleaned very well, the probability of the child catching hepatitis b and hepatitis C decreases.
Since the foreskin is taken as much as necessary, the growth and development of the penis becomes normal in advanced ages.
Since the circumcision is performed under pain-relieving drugs, the child does not feel pain.
Since the circumcision wound is sutured, wound healing is faster.
How to circumcise
Circumcision has been done in various ways over the years. While the Jews used a metal plate (Barzel) with a slit in the middle, they preferred to use the clamps, which were named after each doctor in the Ottoman period.
Circumcision errors
Circumcision errors are inevitable when people who are not competent in circumcision do it. There are many side effects and mistakes in circumcisions made in haste and not paying attention to hygiene. Incorrect circumcisions cause permanent damage to the penis and sexual dysfunction.
· Under inappropriate sterilization conditions, hepatitis (jaundice) and many microbial diseases can be transmitted. These diseases are serious diseases that can even result in death. The prevalence of hepatitis b in our country is approximately 10%. The probability of the child contracting hepatitis b and hepatitis C is 10% in circumcision performed with surgical instruments that are not very well purified. For this reason, circumcision should be performed by a reliable person, whose surgical instruments are very well purified.
· It is less in circumcised people than in those without penis head sensitivity.
· Excessive removal of the foreskin may adversely affect the growth and normal development of the penis in advanced ages.
· Skin bridges that can form between the glans penis and the shaft penis: It causes pain and deformity during erection. It should be treated surgically.
· Cyst: They occur due to not suturing properly. They can become infected and must be surgically corrected.
· Fistula: It is a channel formed between the urinary canal and the skin. It can be corrected surgically.
· Meatitis: It is seen with a frequency of 30%. It occurs as a result of ammonia irritation due to under-changing the diaper. It can lead to meatus ulcer and stenosis.
· Complete or almost complete loss of penis
· Sensation defects
· Less cutting of the foreskin: very common. There is no problem. If necessary, the excess is cut with a 2 cif operation.
· Trimming of the glans: occurs after carelessness. It is very difficult to repair. In complete cuts, there is no other option but a prosthesis.
· Excessive cutting of the skin under the glans and cutting the external urethra here together. The child begins to urinate from the underside of the glans penis.
· Bleeding: common. In the treatment, the circumcision wound is opened and the bleeding vessels are kept.
· Penile gangrene: It occurs as a result of tight clamping of the penis, although it is not common.
· Circumcision should not be performed in cases where the urinary external hole is at the bottom of the penis (hypospadias = half circumcised birth). Because these children need an operation. With this surgery, the urinary external hole is taken to the tip of the penis. Since the foreskin will be used during the surgery, these children are not circumcised. If the circumciser, who does not know this, circumcises by mistake, the child’s chance of surgery will be lost.
· Inflammation occurs if attention is not paid to cleanliness and hygiene. It collects pus, which causes fever in the child. Shivering, nausea and vomiting occur.
· Penile head hypersensitivity: Although hypersensitivity may occur at the circumcision head for up to 3 months after circumcision, this disappears in time.
· There may be inability to urinate due to tight bandage after circumcision.
