I don’t know the rate of complication. But I know a lot of parents with sons who’ve had the same complication as mine, and a urologist told us it’s very common today because less foreskin is removed. “Adhesions” can form after circumcision, and in the worst cases, it can heal with skin bridges, which become very painful as the boy grows older. When he was an infant, the pediatricians kept shrugging our concerns off. One said, “Some just look like that.” For years, I was so upset because it looked like a deformity. Finally, I researched it myself using the internet when he was six, and we had him to a specialist right away. He had to be re-circumcised. It took weeks to fully recover, but he was lucky. I read that many grown men suffer with skin bridges, never knowing that it can be repaired.
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the report. It would seem the dangers of leaving too much skin would be reported out by the AMA. The physician on this thread stated that he hadn’t heard of any complications during his career on the east coast. I wonder why different reports are voiced here. Interesting...
