Routine biopsies in pediatric circumcision: (non) sense?

Objective: At our institute we usually send the foreskin after circumcision for pathological examination. Does this make sense or is it merely medical overconsumption?

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out of all pediatric patients who underwent a circumcision, from August 2005 to January 2008, for persisting pathological phimosis after treatment with topical steroids. Religious circumcisions were excluded.
