摘要
We prospectively reviewed 3824 boys circumcised during two circumcision festivities. The boys were circumcised in their respective houses under aseptic conditions by teams of nurses, midwives and surgical aids locally trained for that purpose. Complications were seen in 2.3% of the boys, the commonest being infection that was easily controlled by local wound care.
