Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Circumcision in neonates and infants is common.
  • Meatal stenosis is a potential complication that may not be immediately apparent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presentation of meatal stenosis as a complication of infant circumcision.
  • To analyze the timing and characteristics of symptomatic presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 50 boys who underwent meatotomy for meatal stenosis.
  • Classification of patients into incidental and symptomatic groups based on presentation.
  • Definition of meatal stenosis based on visual and functional changes to the urinary meatus.

Main Results:

  • Meatal stenosis was diagnosed incidentally in 16 patients and symptomatically in 34 (68%).
  • Symptomatic patients presented at a median age of 48 months post-circumcision.
  • Meatotomy successfully alleviated symptoms in all treated patients with no recurrence or complications.

Conclusions:

  • Meatal stenosis is an underrecognized complication of early childhood circumcision.
  • Symptomatic presentation of meatal stenosis can be significantly delayed, highlighting the need for awareness.
