Objectives:

Methods:
Twenty patients undergoing circumcision received ICI with prostaglandin prior to surgery. Demographics of all patients along with outcomes and complications at 2-week and 3-month follow-up were recorded.
Results:
No complications were evident at 2-week and 3-month follow-up. All 20 patients were satisfied with cosmetic result.
Conclusions:
Circumcisions performed with ICI is a novel technique that allows accurate removal of foreskin and can be safely applied to current surgical technique for improved cosmetic results.
