Abstract

Objective: To establish the frequency and importance of pathological phimosis in children who underwent circumcision. Material and Methods: A review of the frequency and importance of phimosis was performed in 490 children who underwent circumcision between January 1994 and August 2000 at our clinic. The frequency of phimosis according to age groups was evaluated. Results: Overall 34 (% 6.93) children had typical phimosis before circumcision. Furthermore among the 490 patients, 3 (%0.6) had unilateral hydroceles, 2 (%0.4) had anterior hypospadias and 2 (%0.4) had unilateral cryptorchidism. The frequency of phimosis decreased gradually in older groups. Conclusion: In this study, we determined a higher frequency of phimosis in children between ages 0-3. The frequency decreased with age. For this reason, topical therapy should be administered before 3 years of age and circumcision should be reserved for patients who have infection or do not respond to medical therapy.
