Article Synopsis
  • Circumcision is commonly performed for various reasons, and this study aimed to assess if routine histopathological examinations of foreskin specimens are necessary after adult circumcision.
  • A retrospective analysis of 334 male patients showed that only 2.7% had preoperative clinical suspicions, and among them, only 0.9% were found to have malignancy.
  • The majority of patients (97.3%) with no suspicious features preoperatively showed no signs of malignancy, suggesting routine histopathological examination may not be required for every case.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Private Gebze Yuzyil Hospital, Clinic of Pediatric Surgery, Gebze, Kocaeli, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • Circumcision is a common surgery for males, often performed for medical reasons or cultural/religious practices, with the study focusing on comparing the NeoAlis clamp to the sleeve technique in children.
  • A retrospective analysis from 2017 to 2023 reviewed outcomes of 2,626 circumcision procedures, finding that the NeoAlis clamp had a shorter operation time and a lower incidence of early bleeding complications than the sleeve technique.
  • The study concludes that while disposable ring devices reduce surgery time and avoid sutures, surgeons must be skilled in advanced techniques to manage complications like bleeding effectively.

S Afr Fam Pract (2004)

May 2023

Department of General Nursing Sciences, School of Nursing and Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, University of Namibia, Rundu.

Background: Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is a strategy used to try to limit new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, as it has the potential to reduce HIV and/or AIDS transmission from women to men by up to 60%. However, in spite of efforts by the Ministry of Health and Social Services, only a few men in Namibia have been circumcised. The objective of this study was to explore and describe the facilitators of, and barriers to, medical male circumcision for HIV prevention in Kavango East, Namibia.

  • Initial treatments with NSAIDs and local care did not resolve the issue, and a severe inflammatory reaction led to a condition called paraphimosis.
  • The condition was successfully treated with a surgical procedure under general anesthesia, allowing the alpaca to fully recover and remain healthy without any recurrence of the prolapse two years later.

Article Synopsis
  • The webbed penis is a genital abnormality characterized by a connecting skin fold between the penis and scrotum, leading to a lack of proper penoscrotal angle and often accompanied by tight foreskin conditions like phimosis.
  • The surgical procedure involves using inverted scrotal skin flaps to reposition the penis, detaching it from the scrotum, and potentially excising excess tissue, followed by circumcision and scrotal repair.
  • Results show that this surgery enhances the penile appearance and offers cosmetic improvements without complications, addressing both medical and psychological concerns for patients and their families.

The penis is an organ of enormous importance and is vital for both excretory and reproductive function. The anatomy of the penis itself can lead to many of its emergent conditions and a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology is central to recognition of these conditions. Physicians should have a high clinical suspicion for penile emergencies and perform a thorough physical examination to make a proper diagnosis.
