Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo summarize the experience in the application of circumcision anastomat in the treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce in children.
METHODSA total of 551 children with phimosis or redundant prepuce were treated by circumcision from 2008 to 2010, 342 with circumcision anastomat and the other 209 by traditional circumcision. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTSCompared with traditional circumcision, circumcision with the anastomat showed the advantages of less operation time (P < 0.05), fewer complications, no need for dressing, and better cosmetic appearance, but it also exhibited the disadvantages of longer healing time (P < 0.05) and more obvious postoperative pain (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCircumcision with the anastomat and traditional circumcision for the treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce in children each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the former is more advantageous and more feasible clinically.
