Summary

Postoperative voiding after neonatal circumcision is predictable. Healthy infants can be discharged before voiding, regardless of feeding type, following uncomplicated circumcision.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Neonatal circumcision is a common procedure.
  • Monitoring postoperative voiding is crucial for infant recovery.
  • Factors influencing voiding patterns require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze factors affecting voiding after neonatal circumcision.
  • To determine if feeding type influences postoperative voiding times.
  • To assess the safety and predictability of voiding for discharge criteria.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 200 circumcised infants.
  • Evaluation of birth weight, gestational/postnatal age, feeding type/timing, and last voiding time.
  • Comparison of voiding intervals between breastfed and formula-fed infants.

Main Results:

  • All infants voided post-circumcision; 75% of breastfed and 100% of formula-fed infants voided within 8 hours.
  • Formula-fed infants had significantly shorter intervals between last feed/pre-circumcision voiding and post-circumcision voiding.
  • No complications were observed, and no infants aspirated, irrespective of feeding timing.

Conclusions:

  • Postoperative voiding time following neonatal circumcision is predictable.
  • Healthy infants with uncomplicated circumcisions may be discharged prior to voiding.
  • This finding supports revised discharge protocols for neonatal circumcision.
