Abstract:
Male circumcision is increasing in popularity due to its medical benefits, including reducing HIV prevalence. It is commonly performed by both health and non-health professionals, with most circumcisions occurring during the neonatal period. Studies suggest the benefits outweigh the risks, though complications can occur. This study aimed to determine the clinical outcomes of circumcisions and the prevalence of adverse events of circumcision in the Volta region of Ghana. A five-year retrospective descriptive and analytic study was conducted at Ho Teaching Hospital, using a structured data extraction sheet to collect demographic, clinical, and circumcision-related data from 186 cases. Among 186 circumcision cases, 23 (12.37%) experienced complications, with the most common being partial circumcision (43.48%), post-circumcision bleeding (21.74%), and urethrocutaneous fistula and/or wrongfully circumcised congenital hypospadias (13.04%). Low heamoglobin levels and infections were also noted. A significant relationship was found between the circumcision provider and complication rates (Chi-square = 16.975, p = 0.00). Doctors conducting circumcision had the lowest complication rates (4.3%), while nurses and traditional circumcisers had higher complication rates (39.1% and 34.8%, respectively). Circumcision-Revision surgery was the most common salvage surgery for circumcision mishaps (31.82%), with urethroplasty and hypospadias repair (for wrongful circumcised neonates born with hypospadias) accounting for 15.91%. Meatoplasties, glansplasties, fistulectomy plus primary repair and chordae-release surgeries were also performed. The success rate for salvage surgeries (first attempt) was 70%. Prompt initial management strategies were significantly associated with good outcomes. Under less-trained hands, circumcision could be catastrophic. Salvage surgeries for circumcision mishaps are associated with less favourable outcomes in about one-third of the cases, suggesting that circumcision mishaps are better prevented than salvaged. Training, guidance, and policy interventions are needed to reduce the incidence of circumcision-related mishaps. Public health campaigns to dissuade non-surgeon circumcisers to refrain from circumcising children with hypospadias but refer them, are urgently needed.

Abstract:
Objective: Our purpose was to investigate whether patients who had previously undergone circumcision (considering the timing and method of the procedure) experienced altered levels of anxiety when facing other surgeries later in life.
 Materials and methods: It was investigated to what extent circumcision affects surgical anxiety. Patients who applied to our clinic to undergo surgery due to any disease in adulthood were included. The surgery anxiety scale was used for collection of the data. Results: This study involved 54 men, with an average age of 46.7 years, assessing their surgical anxiety scores in relation to various factors. While 59.3% had one surgery, significant minorities underwent multiple procedures. Regarding anesthesia during surgeries, 61.1% received local, 24.1% spinal, and 14.8% general anesthesia. Notably, 63% of participants were smokers. Previous hospitalization was reported by 51.9%, and 37% had other surgeries. Interestingly, 59.3% had contracted COVID-19. Age of circumcision showed no significant effect on anxiety scores. However, those who underwent forced circumcision (11.1%) had notably higher anxiety scores (p=0.04). Most circumcisions (96.3%) occurred in hospitals, with doctors conducting 81.48% of them. No correlation was found between patients' age during circumcision and current anxiety. Significantly, forced circumcisions led to increased surgical anxiety. Conclusions: Our study suggests that while circumcision's method, location, and performer significantly influence the individual's surgical anxiety in adulthood, the age of circumcision does not play a determining role.

Abstract:
Background: Circumcision is a surgical procedure that is performed for a variety of cultural, medical, and religious purposes. Carbonic Circumcision is a surgical procedure which has the potential to be performed in a public health setting and offers several advantages particularly in the prevention of disease. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the financial, medical, and sociodemographic impacts of delayed circumcision as compared to early circumcision. Methods: This retrospective study was carried after obtaining IRB approval from our institution (IRB-2024-01-814). Records of circumcision cases from January 2020 to January 2024 were reviewed comparing early circumcisions (within the first 90 days of life) done under local anesthesia with delayed circumcisions (after 180 days of life) done under general anesthesia. Results: A total of 192 patients were excluded due to various reasons: Hypospadias (57 cases), ambiguous genitalia with bilateral undescended testes (26 cases), penile web (22 cases), buried penis (12 cases), penoscrotal transposition (4 cases), and other systemic abnormalities (7 cases). Studies have shown multiple long term economic benefits when circumcision is done early on in life. The cost of circumcision performed later in life is relatively higher than that performed early. In older children, circumcision requires general anesthesia, hospital bed utilization and post operative care which significantly increases the direct cost of the procedure compared to a procedure that is done in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Conclusion: Delayed circumcision translates into expedited healthcare costs while circumcising neonates fosters more overall affordable and less risky surgery. Appropriate measures should be taken from the side of the decision makers in order to endorse neonatal circumcision practices during such interventions where there is a disparity in healthcare equity, costs or patient outcomes..

Abstract:
Circumcision remains a controversial operation. Most procedures are performed in the neonatal period and avoid general anesthesia. Legislation driven by policy statements from the American Academy of Pediatrics led to significant changes in circumcisions in Florida with a shift to non-neonatal procedures as a result of costs. We sought to study the prevalence and financial implications of nonneonatal circumcisions in Florida. A retrospective population study was performed using the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration outpatient procedure database. We queried for patients 0 to 17 years of age undergoing circumcision between 2003 and 2008. Demographics, charges, and insurance status were analyzed. From 2003 to 2008, 31,741 outpatient circumcisions were performed. Publicly funded circumcisions accounted for 17,537 charging the state $6,263 on average for each circumcision at an expense of $111.8 million for the 5-year time period analyzed. Publicly funded circumcision procedures increased more than sixfold ( P < 0.0001) than those covered by private insurance. Black circumcision procedures increased 77.3 per cent, whereas white circumcisions increased 28.7 per cent. There has been a significant increase in the number of nonneonatal circumcisions performed. This has resulted in an increase in economic health care. Public funding of neonatal circumcision could result in significant cost savings and avoid potential complications of general anesthesia.

Abstract:
Introduction. Male circumcision is a recommended practice in Muslim tradition. It is important to ensure that this procedure is performed as safely as possible in these communities.Methods. Five hundred adult men and women with at least one male child less than 18 years were interviewed in Karachi, Pakistan, regarding details of their child’s circumcision. The survey focused on actual and perceived delays in circumcision and perceptions about appropriate age and reasons and benefits and complications of the procedure. Circumcisions done after two months of age were defined as delayed.Results. Religious requirement was the primary reason for circumcision in 92.6% of children. However, 89.6% of respondents were of the opinion that circumcision had medical benefits as well. Half of the children (54.1%) had delayed circumcision (range 2.5 months to 13 years), even though 81.2% of parents were of the opinion that circumcisions should be done within 60 days of birth. Facility-delivered babies had less delay in circumcisions (49.1%) as compared to home-delivered babies (60.5%).Conclusion. Understanding the perceptions and practices around male circumcision can help guide national strategies for designing and implementing safe circumcision programs in Muslim-majority settings, with the potential to benefit an annual birth cohort of 20–25 million boys worldwide.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Primary care trust (PCT) funding of a ritual circumcision service has recently been withdrawn from our unit, raising concerns that this may result in greater morbidity from community circumcision. The aims of this study were to document our circumcision practice before and after the withdrawal of PCT funding and to determine its effect on the morbidity from circumcision. In addition, we wanted to survey all paediatric surgical centres in the British Isles to ascertain how many still offer a ritual circumcision service. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our circumcision practice for 1 year prior to the removal of UK Government funding, and then performed a prospective audit of our practice for the 12 months following funding withdrawal. An e-mail survey was also performed of all paediatric surgical units to determine the ritual circumcision service provision throughout the British Isles. RESULTS A total of 213 boys underwent circumcision during the 12 months prior to the withdrawal of funding, of which 106 cases (50%) were ritual circumcisions. After funding withdrawal, 99 boys underwent circumcision, of which 98 cases (99%) were for medical reasons. A similar number of boys were re-admitted after a hospital circumcision during the two review periods (5 versus 4 patients), whereas the number admitted following a community circumcision rose after funding withdrawal (6 versus 11 patients). Only a third of British paediatric surgical centres offer a ritual circumcision service, and a significant proportion of these were either providing the service without PCT funding, or were reconsidering their decision to continue. CONCLUSIONS PCT funding withdrawal for ritual circumcision had an impact on our unit's procedural case volume. This represented a cost saving to the trust, despite a higher rate of admissions for postoperative complications. There is an inequality in healthcare provision throughout the British Isles for ritual circumcision, and we feel it is vital to offer support and training to medical and non-medical practitioners who are being asked to perform a greater number of circumcisions in the community.

Abstract:
Introduction. Circumcision is one of the most performed surgical procedures in neonates. Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience with neonates who developed complications following the use of plastibell for circumcision. Material and methods. This was a retrospective study of male neonates who were managed for complications resulting from circumcision (performed with plastibell) over a 5-year period at the pediatric surgery unit of a teaching hospital in Enugu, Nigeria. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics and research committee. Results. Out of the 1794 neonatal circumcisions (using plastibell) performed during the study period, 134 (7.5%) neonates had complications. Sixty percent (1074) of the circumcisions were performed in the teaching hospital while 40% were referred cases. The ages of the patients ranged from 7 to 27 days with a median of 10 days and their mean weight was 2.5 kilograms. Majority of the plastibell circumcisions that developed complications was performed by unregistered (auxiliary) nurses. Retained plastibell was the most common complication and its removal was the most performed procedure. No mortality was recorded. Conclusion. Complications following circumcision with plastibell vary widely. Retained plastibell was the most common in the present study. The most complications occurred when the circumcision was performed by auxiliary (unregistered) nurses.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Safe Male circumcision (SMC) divides people for or against it, depending upon their attitudes. The Ministry of health (MOH) has built capacity in the country for rapid scale up of the program since 2009. However, despite the efforts, the number of men circumcised is lagging behind set targets. We do not know to what extent attitudes of the managers at national and district levels do influence this underperformance? The effectiveness of the managers at workplace at large will depend on their attitudes towards SMC. Managers with positive attitudes bring at workplace energy, creativity and momentum to fulfill the work objectives and goals. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to; 1) establish the current situation of SMC implementation in Botswana, 2) establish the required attitudes for managers towards SMC program, 3) establish the attitudes of SMC managers at all levels toward SMC program, 4) determine the gap between the required attitudes and SMC managers’ current attitudes toward SMC, and 5) Provide recommendation for reinforcing positive attitudes toward SMC program. Methods: The study used an explorative qualitative design. It was carried out at the Ministry of health headquarters and in ten districts in Botswana. A total of 26 SMC program managers were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Results: The study found that the managers were confirming to positive attitudes toward the program as prescribed by the MOH’s standards. Data revealed a positive trend in scaling up of the program albeit lagging behind set targets. Conclusion: This study looked at the desired attitudes of SMC managers should posses and the level of attitudes currently have towards the program. It was not easy to link attitude and performance of individuals. High turnover rate of SMC officers was a worrisome finding that calls for further study.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Na gelang van hul houdings, is die meeste mense hetsy sterk ten gunste van of heftig gekant teen veilige manlike besnydenis (VMB). Die Ministerie van Gesondheid is reeds sedert 2009 besig met vermoëbou-inisiatie we om die VMB-program vinnig uit te brei. Ondanks hierdie pogings, is die aantal mans wat ingevolge dié program besny word egter veel minder as die vasgestelde teikens. Dit is nie bekend in watter mate die houdings van VMB-programbestuurders op nasionale en distriksvlak hierdie onderprestasie beïnvloed nie. Die algehele doeltreffendheid waarmee dié bestuurders die program in werking stel, sal immers grootliks afhang van hul houdings jeens VMB. Bestuurders met ’n positiewe houding sal energie, kreatiwiteit en stukrag aan die werkplek verleen ten einde die programoogmerke en -doelwitte te verwesenlik. Oogmerke: Die oogmerke van die studie was: 1) om die huidige stand van VMB-inwerkingstelling in Botswana te bepaal; 2) om te bepaal watter houdings bestuurders behóórt te hê jeens die VMB-program; 3) om te bepaal watter houdings bestuurders op alle vlakke wél het jeens die VMB-program; 4) om vas te stel in watter mate bestuurders se vereiste houdings en huidige houdings jeens VMB verskil; en 5) om aanbevelings te doen vir die versterking van positiewe houdings jeens die VMB-program. Metode: Die studie het van ’n verkennende kwalitatiewe ontwerp gebruik gemaak. Dit is by die hoofkantoor van die Ministerie van Gesondheid sowel as in tien gesondheidsdistrikte in Botswana onderneem. Onderhoude aan die hand van ’n semigestruktureerde onderhoudsgids is met altesaam 26 VMB-programbestuurders gevoer. Resultate: Die studie bevind dat die bestuurders wél positiewe houdings jeens die program toon soos wat die standaarde van die Ministerie van Gesondheid vereis. Data dui op ’n positiewe tendens in die uitbreiding van die program, al word die vasgestelde teikens nie bereik nie.

Abstract:
Male circumcision is a potent receptacle for fantasy. Whatever its medical benefits or harms, the significance of the practice has always extended to questions beyond the purely organic. By placing specific moments in the history of circumcision into dialogue with psychoanalytic theory, this dissertation demonstrates how circumcision is an inherently ambivalent procedure that enables multitudinous and contradictory responses to the constitutive encounter with lack to be played out on the site of the penis. Through circumcision – whether actual or spectral – the penis is put into relation with the symbolic phallus, allowing the organ to function as an image upon which fundamental questions of subjectivity may be posed. The dissertation begins with an introduction to the relevant psychoanalytic theory on castration, sexual difference, and the phallus, and then examines the extant historical, critical, and psychoanalytic literature relating to circumcision. Subsequently, three case studies are explored, over the course of four chapters: First, St. Paul’s abrogation of Jewish circumcision and its undertheorized role in debates surrounding “Pauline” universalism, considered from the divergent perspectives of Alain Badiou and Daniel Boyarin. Second, the nineteenth-century Anglo-American medicalization of circumcision (promoted as a cure for nervous illness), and the relationship between the “talking cure” and the “circumcision cure.” Finally, the libidinal undertones of contemporary political discourse, activism, and popular sentiment on circumcision. In each case, stances and controversies surrounding circumcision reveal a preoccupation with the question of phallic mastery in the face of lack. Circumcision figures either as an attempt to consolidate mastery – denying or repudiating castration – that at the same time reveals the inherent impossibility of such an enterprise, or, it foregrounds castration, often provoking defensive responses.

Abstract:
There is an adverse reaction to the practice of female circumcision in the West. This study investigates the adverse reaction to reveal the public discourse on female circumcision as one that is gendered. Using a critical discourse analysis, the study examines the body of Western discourses to explore the reproduction of system of gender hierarchy in the discourse. Guided by a theoretical analysis of the ‘private’/’public' divide through which feminine and masculine power is enforced, the study exposes ways in which similar power relation is sustained in the body of Western discourses on female circumcision. The study applies a textual analysis inquiring the language use of the Fran Hosken report and policy statements originating from the United States, United Kingdome, and international organizations. Using various themes that emerged during the textual analysis, the study deconstructs the body of Western discourses on female circumcision and presents the construction of femininity and masculinity. The findings suggest the discursive application of control and power grounded in rationality, science, knowledge and ways of being.

Abstract:
Thesis (Family Medicine))--University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus), 2010.<br>Traditional male circumcision complications are one of the surgical problems you may face as a doctor working in St Lucy’s hospital. Usually there is increased number of circumcision related complications during the winter and summer seasons as this traditional circumcision as a peoples’ culture or ritual is performed during these periods. In a study by Muula S Adamson et al, (2007) they found that there was limited published literature on the complications of male circumcision in sub-Saharan Africa and the vii available evidence regarding the prevalence of complications in male circumcision is conflicting, with some studies reporting significantly high complication prevalence and at least one study reporting no complications. They suggested that a study that may not have reported a single complication may indeed have none to report or that complications may have been considered so minor as to be ‘worth’ reporting. About 25% of world male population is circumcised and circumcision remains one of the oldest and commonest operations performed all over the world. The complication rates of the procedure ranges between 0.19% and 3.1% Wilkinson GB (1997). The expertise of the surgeon or the circumciser determines the outcome. Aim: To establish factors associated with traditional circumcision and the type of complications encountered at St. Lucy’s hospital from January 2006-December 2007. Objective: To determine the types of complications following traditional circumcision. To establish the causes of the complications Methods-: Study design: This is a retrospective descriptive quantitative study. Data was collected from the patients’ records and a questionnaire used as a data collection instrument. Study Population: All male circumcised traditionally seen at St. Lucy’s within the period of study. Inclusion criteria: Files (records) of all male patients circumcised traditionally seen at St Lucy’s within the period of the study. Patient’s file contains all patient data including; names, gender, age, contact number and address, next of kin and race including others. The diagnostic viii details and management of the condition identified with the discharge summary notes. Exclusion criteria: Files (records) of other males and females attending hospital for other reasons. Those circumcised for medical reasons like phimosis or paraphimosis. Results: There were a total of 105 patients’ files (records) that were eligible with majority of the patients’ files, 68 (64.8%) between the ages of 15 and 19years. Majority of them had secondary school education 83 (79). Various reasons were given for traditional circumcision. Of the 105 males patients’ files, 60(57%) went for circumcision to be transformed from boyhood to manhood, 21(20.0%) were found to be circumcised due to peer pressure, 20(19.0%) were as a result of culture and 1(1.0%) was found to be forced. Circumcision was done more between the months of July and Sept. and more were circumcised on the mountain/forest than on the initiation ground. More of the boys were found to be circumcised by the traditionalist and had worse complications when compared with those circumcised by the initiators who had informal training on how the perform circumcision. Wound infections (sepsis) accounted for more than 56.2% of the admissions and complications. Genital mutilation at approx. 26.7% followed by 12(11.4%) dehydration and total amputation of glans 6(5.7%). Complication does not appear to depend on whether a patient had had previous STI or not. In this study it was found that complications were more when the circumciser was a traditionalist. The total rate of complication was 54.3% when a traditionalist was involved as against 28.6% when initiator was involved. The severity and types of complications determine the duration of hospital stay and whether the patient is referred out or not. From the study it followed that most genital sepsis healed from (3-21) days with patients with genital mutilation staying up to four (4) weeks. There were a number of limitations encountered during the study. ix Conclusion: traditional circumcision is mostly performed as a right/ritual that allows the passage from boyhood to manhood in the Xhosa area. In this study it was found that majority of those circumcised did so to be transformed into men and genital sepsis was the highest complication seen and were seen mostly when the circumciser was a traditionalist. The findings did not vary from similar studies which noted that complications were worse when inexperienced surgeons engaged in circumcising the unsuspecting initiates especially during botch surgery.

Abstract:
Introdução: A postectomia ou circuncisão é um procedimento cirúrgico com o objetivo de remover o anel fibrótico prepucial permitindo a exteriorização permanente da glande, facilitando a higiene local e o fluxo urinário. Diversos estudos vêm sendo realizados com o intuito de avaliar o papel da postectomia como prevenção das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs). Diversos estudos de coorte, assim como metanálises, afirmam que homens circuncidados têm menores chances de contrair ISTs e o efeito protetor pode ser devido ao fato de tornar o pênis menos suscetível a microfissuras, especialmente durante o ato sexual, o que favorece a entrada de patógenos. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão narrativa da literatura para avaliar a influência da postectomia na prevenção das ISTs. Métodos: Realizou-se uma busca ativa, entre abril e maio de 2023, nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) com os descritores “male circumcision” (circuncisão masculina), “infectious diseases” (doenças infecciosas), “benefits of male circumcision” (benefícios da circuncisão masculina), “circumcision and sexual behavior” (circuncisão e comportamento sexual), IST e DST. Foram incluídos artigos escritos originalmente em português e inglês. Resultados: A revisão narrativa mostrou que a postectomia está associada a menores taxas de ISTs, especificamente causadas pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (HIV), pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV) e pelo Vírus Herpes Simplex (HSV). Esses benefícios de prevenção de ISTs também se estendem às parceiras, que têm taxas reduzidas de sífilis, HPV, vaginose bacteriana e tricomoníase. Conclusão: É notório que políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento de campanhas estimulando a realização de postectomia podem ser uma importante estratégia na prevenção das ISTs. No entanto, outras formas de prevenção de ISTs não devem ser abandonadas e substituídas pela circuncisão.

Abstract:
A growing body of scientific publications suggests that male circumcision is associated with reduced risk of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, male circumcision is being considered as a potential intervention in the prevention of sexually transmitted HIV infection, even though this procedure has profound cultural implications and carries the risk of complications, and its benefits are realized only many years later. This report presents the findings of a meeting of international researchers, organized by the Horizons Project to explore the programmatic and research implications of the association between male circumcision and HIV prevention. Most studies on male circumcision and HIV infection have been done in Africa, and the discussion focuses largely on this continent. The conclusions and recommendations from the meeting, however, may be relevant for other parts of the world. Based on the discussion, participants determined that there is considerable evidence supporting a protective effect of male circumcision on HIV infection in men in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants also concluded that there are many unknowns.
