Sünnet muayenesinde saptanan genital anomali oranları: Tek merkezli çalışma

OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the genital organ anomaly rates detected during circumcision examination in the light of the literature. MATERIAL and METHODS: 5427 circumcision operations were performed in our clinic for 11 years. The genital organ anomaly data detected in the circumcision examination were obtained by examining the patient files retrospectively. The obtained data were evaluated in the light of the literature. RESULTS: The number of patients with genital anomalies during a total of 5427 circumcision examinations was 324 (5.97%). The most frequently detected anomalies are respectively; undescended testis (1.47%), intact foreskin megameatus (1.27%), retractile testis (0.88%), hypospadias (0.69%), inguinal hernia (0.68%) and other anomalies (0.98%). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that families should be educated and conscious about the importance of circumcision examination, and physicians should be more careful in circumcision examination. We would like to state that physicians should be more careful about intact foreskin megameatus, which cannot be detected in physical examination and is detected when the circumcision procedure is started.
