The case considered here is the second recorded of a true post-circumcision keloid with massive and extended lesions.

That's just ONE of the things which might occur to you.

I didn't exactly do a google search.

But I'm sure I can come up with a list

Circumcision is a safe and effective procedure. This unfortunate procedure was done by and inexperienced surgeon who cut too much skin, allowing for long-standing infection.
The article also states that complication rate is from 0-2% to 5%. Furthermore, in the United States, it is extreamly rare for anyone past infancy to get a circumcision, whereas; the patient here is 6 years old.

Besides, a cut penis is a cleaner penis. :beer:

heh, don't you get me started on that. are you ready to open THAT can of worms?

i really wish you didn't start up a thread like this again. there have been so many.
if you aren't circumsized - good for you.
if you are - good for you.

do we have to put down one or the other all the time on this board?

i came across the page by accident (I seriously did)

And for those who consider getting the operation done, this was more like an FYI on it.

I cannot in good conscious not inform folks of possible disasters when they do something.

The reply you quoted from me was after someone pretty much dismissing anything wrong likely happening after the operation.
this will become a flame war guaranteed.

the info you provided is like Guiness Book of World Records worthy. it's not a common occurrence by a long shot. the chance of that happening to anyone here is the same as being struck by lightning.

Here's one: 10% risk of meatal stenosis

Meatal stenosis is when scar tissue from a circumcision closes up the opening of the urethra. It only occurs in circumcised males and requires more surgery to fix.

This is one that the doctors won't tell you about because they charge for the circ, then charge again to correct the meatal stenosis.

Then keep it shut. Grab a beer (joint?). Be thankful that this isn't locked and you aren't banned for posting a cockshot, even though it was benevolent in intent.

once i asked if i could post about the proper way for a guy to conduct a testicular exam on himself to check for cancer and was told i could not. it used a banana and a couple of plums for demonstrative purposes.
