ABSTRACT
To describe the spectrum and management of circumcisional injuries. It was a two years [January 2006-December 2007] descriptive study. All patients with complications of circumcision, presenting immediately or late and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in this study. A total of 24 patients were included in this study. Common complications in order of frequency were urethrocutaneous fistula 8[33.3%], glans injury 6[25%] and bleeding 5[20.8%]. In majority of cases 20[83.33%], the circumcision was performed by unqualified circumciser. In our country majority of circumcisions are performed by traditional untrained persons with high complication rate, often disastrous one. Properly training the paramedical staff can not only reduce the physical morbidity but will also save the resources spent on management of these potentially preventable complications
