Circoncisione viola codice di etica medica?

DENMARK: Does circumcision violate the health code?

Danimarca valuterà se la circoncisione viola il codice di etica medica

(JTA) - La Danimarca ha commissionato un'indagine governativa domandandosi se la procedura di circoncisione non medica viola il codice deontologico e quello di etica medica.

La circoncisione religiosa è un pericolo per la salute del bambino? In quali condizioni si svolge? Quali ne sono le principali complicazioni? A questo ed altro dovrà rispondere la commissione Danese.

"Prenderemo in esame le raccomandazioni del Mistero della salute per questo settore", ha detto il primo ministro danese Helle Thorning-Schmidt nella sede a Copenaghen del Politiken daily .

Politiken ha riferito che il governo danese ha commissionato uno studio su questa questione. Il mese scorso il giornale ha pubblicato un intervento che ha detto che il Consiglio Nazionale della Sanità non ha mai monitorato le condizioni in cui si svolgono la circoncisione. Non è dato neppure sapere se si sono svolte in un ambiente sterile o con la presenza di personale medico qualificato.

Circoncisione non medica su minori, oltretutto non consenzienti, è stato oggetto di un acceso dibattito in Danimarca nel corso degli ultimi mesi. Diversi politici hanno chiesto un divieto della pratica, specie se eseguita su neonati, tra le reazioni di rabbia spropositata di ebrei e musulmani.

Venstre, il più grande partito della Danimarca, deciderà se chiedere il divieto delle circoncisioni rituali, anche sulla base dei risultati dello studio, ha detto un portavoce del partito JTA.

The chief rabbi of Denmark, Bent Lexner si è dichiarato pronto a partecipare al dialogo.

- The AAP Committee on Bioethics report states, "Pediatric health care providers � have legal and ethical duties to their child patients to render competent medical care based on what the patient needs, not what someone else expresses� .[T]he pediatrician�s responsibilities to his or her patient exist independent of parental desires

Circumcision violates the Golden Rule. Adults would not consent to having a healthy genital part cut off, with or without pain medication. Yet adults put a helpless, vulnerable, sensitive newborn child through this painful ordeal.

Male Genital Mutilation

A cura di MGMbill.org:

Male Genital Mutilation

The traditional custom of ritual cutting and alteration of the genitalia of male infants, boys, and adolescents, referred to as male genital mutilation (MGM), persists primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, Africa and among certain communities in the Middle East and Asia. Families from all regions in the United States may have sons who have undergone a ritual genital procedure or may request that such a procedure be performed by a physician

TYPES OF MALE GENITAL MUTILATION

MGM is most often performed between the ages of infancy and 14 years, although in some communities it may be postponed until 20 years of age.11 In developing countries, typically a local village practitioner or lay person is engaged for a fee to perform the procedure, which is done without anesthesia using a variety of instruments, such as knives, razor blades, broken glass, or scissors. In developed countries physicians or mohels may be sought to perform MGM under clean or sterile conditions with or without the use of anesthesia. Figure 1 shows the normal genital anatomy of a prepubertal male. The various ritual genital practices are classified into four types based on the severity of structural disfigurement.12

Type I MGM, often termed circumcision, involves excision or injury of part or all of the skin and specialized mucosal tissues of the penis including the prepuce and ridged band (Fig 2). When this procedure is performed in infants and young boys, a portion of or all of the frenulum may be removed. If only the tip of the foreskin is removed, or if the foreskin has only been prematurely and forcibly retracted, the physical manifestation of Type I MGM may be subtle, necessitating a careful examination of the glans, foreskin, and adjacent structures for recognition.

Type II MGM, referred to as glandectomy or penectomy, is excision or injury to the glans and/or penis shaft, along with Type I MGM. (Fig 3). Crude stitches may be used to control bleeding from the penile artery and raw tissue surfaces, and patients with Type II MGM have a shortened urethra resulting from the absence of the glans and/or penile shaft that may cause problems urinating and/or ejaculating

Type III MGM, known as castration, is the most severe form in which the testicles are excised with or without some or all of the foreskin and/or penile shaft (Fig 4). The raw surfaces are stitched together and the patient may no longer be able to maintain an erection or father children.

Type IV includes different practices of variable severity including pricking, piercing or incision of the prepuce, glans, scrotum or other genital tissue; cutting and suturing of the prepuce over the glans (infibulation); slitting open the urethra along the ventral surface of the penis (subincision); slitting open the foreskin along its dorsal surface (superincision); severing the frenulum; stripping the skin from the shaft of the penis; introducing corrosive or scalding substances onto the genital area; and any other procedure which falls under the definition of MGM given above.

The physical complications associated with MGM may be acute or chronic. Early, life-threatening risks include hemorrhage, infection, excessive skin loss, skin bridges, glans deformation, bowing, meatal stenosis, loss of penis, and death.13,14 Circumcision (Type I) is often associated with long-term sexual function difficulties. Common problems involve chafing and dryness during intercourse, reduced sexual feeling, and a buildup of desensitizing keratin on the exposed glans and remaining inner foreskin.

Less well-understood are the psychological, sexual, and social consequences of MGM, because little research has been conducted in countries where the practice is endemic.15 However, personal accounts by men who have had a medicalized genital procedure recount anxiety before the event, terror at being seized and forcibly held during the event, and lack of sexual pleasure during intercourse.16 Some men have no recollection of the event, particularly if it was performed in infancy, while others deny that the procedure has had any negative effect on their health or sexual life.

Notice: Brian Morris has been attempting to keep the information on this page from staying available to the public. On March 7th 2011, Morris attempted to remove this page; more on that here. On April 26th 2012, Morris removed information from his website and pamphlets due to information published on this page, information published about the Gilgal Society, and due to an arrest of Vernon Quaintance as a result of information on Quaintance's page. You can review this page, and the related pages, to see what Brian Morris doesn't want you to know.
Brian James Morris[1] is a molecular biologist and professor of molecular medical sciences at the University of Sydney, Australia.[2][3] He is an avid circumcision advocate,[4] who's never heard an argument for circumcision he didn't like.[5] He's the most vocal Australian circumcision promoter, stating that circumcision should be mandatory,[6] and uses regular scare tactics in an attempt to frighten parents into circumcising their children.[7]

Morris is also a member of the Gilgal Society,[8][9][10] who publishes circumcision propaganda, fetish stories of young boys being circumcised while others masturbate, and other materials. Gilgal Society has doctors and (circumcision to prevent HIV) researchers among their members.[11] Gilgal is headed by Vernon Quaintance, who was recently arrested for child pornography.[12][13]

Morris is in regular contact with Jake H. Waskett,[14] who is the number one Wikipedia editor of any articles on circumcision, or are even somewhat related to circumcision.[15]


Connection to the Gilgal Society
Morris hides his association with the 'Gilgal Society'

On the 26th of April, 2012, documents suddenly disappeared from Brian Morris's website.[16] The documents were his leaflets promoting circumcision, bearing the imprint of the Gilgal Society.[10][9][8] Recently, the head of the Gilgal Society, Vernon Quaintance, has been convicted of possessing child pornography.[12][13]

Until the 26th of April, 2012, Morris's leaflet, "Circumcision A Guide For Parents", said it was published by Brian Morris & The Gilgal Society, with the society's address and logo.[10][9] As of the 26th of April, 2012, all reference to the society are gone, along with a reference to Morris's "interest in circumcision".



Morris's leaflet for women, "Sex and Circumcision: What every woman needs to know", which boasted a long list of co-authors—a virtual roll-call of the pro-circumcison movement—was removed and later replaced by a black and white version—again, with all reference to the Gilgal Society removed. Links to the Circumcision Foundation of Australia and the circumcision fetish site Circlist have been added.



Since April 11th 2012 (the day Vernon Quaintance's court hearing was set, the Gilgal Society website has carried the message:
"We regret that as a result of major computer failure none of our publications are currently available to order from us." But Professor Morris's leaflets continue to be advertised on the site.



Morris's site continues to show a "circumcision humor" page, including a verse by Vernon Quaintance, directly under a picture of a baby with his foreskin trapped in a cellphone.[17]


Brian Morris' Websites
Original Website

Brian Morris ran a circumcision website hosted by the University of Sydney. While no longer on University of Sydney equipment, www.circinfo.net is again operational.[18] The University of Sydney asked Brian Morris not to associate his views on circumcision with his position at the university.[citation needed]

Recommended
Morris' website links to the following recommended websites and groups (8 of which are circumfetish sites, and 7 that sell devices to perform circumcisions):[19]
The Gilgal Society[20]
Circlist (German)[21]
Circlist (Yahoo Asian)[22]

Misc. Kids Health[31]
Misc. Kids Pregnancy[32]
A list of places to get circumcision devices[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]

Humor
Morris' website also has a circumcision humor section, which contains jokes about children, and even a video called "Don't cha wish your boyfriend was circumcized?"[17] It also contains a picture of a naked child, with a folding cellphone clamped onto his foreskin, dangling from the end of his penis, on the humor section of his website.[40] It appears as if an adult purposely put the cell phone there and took the picture.[citation needed]

Foreskin Fetish?
On several occasions Morris has called those against circumcision, foreskin fetishists. He sometimes cites a paper written in 1965 called "Foreskin fetishism and its relation to ego pathology in a male homosexual" (which links to Jake H. Waskett's website).[41][42] Waskett is homosexual.[43]

CITAZIONE

Allegations of a Homosexual Agenda Behind Intactivism

A subgroup of the gay community practice “docking”, a sexual practice that requires the foreskin. Naturally such men would want to ensure that an adequate supply of boys with foreskins are coming up through the ranks, where a proportion will have an orientation towards males. Why don’t those who wish to outlaw male circumcision be honest enough to admit the REAL reason for their campaign? And by the way, “docking” is regarded on gay health websites as unsafe sex, as it exposes the vulnerable mucosal inner lining of the foreskin to infection by HIV, to name just some of the medical hazards posed by the foreskin“

-- Brian J. Morris 06 Jun 2011 at 12:33 am. Comment #58. Diary of a Wimpy Catholic.

Does it make sense to have a fetish about a genital organ?
fet·ish [fet-ish, fee-tish]
Psychology. Any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.[44]

momto3boys

I had never been to that website. OMG! How do people think they are getting good info from there? It was so disgusting. The stories are shocking. It seems these are all stories about boys who hated the fact that they were intact and desperately wanted to be circ'd. But when you read the stories. No fing wonder! The story about the Navy dad who held nightly inspections and would scrub with soap and water on his boys even into the teenage years. ANd if it wasn't clean enough he would beat them. He also gave forced weekly enemas. And when they finally "begged" to be circ'd he talked of how real men have tight circ's and no frenulum would be left. That was the only way! WTF? I s this creative writing or are these real stories? This man should be arrested for assault.

The scare tactics are overwhelming. And this is supposed to be the website Dr. Edgar Schoen recommends? My GOD! How do most people in this country have a chance of getting correct info with dr's like that. I recently met a new ob and he told me that the reason this country has so many problems with intact penis' is not because of dr ignorance. No. American's are biologically different and have different influences causing more infections than Europeans and the rest of the world. Come again? Wasn't it just about the hygeine issue? If that were the case we should never get any infections because we soap and wash everything to death. Talk about talking in circles. Funny because he was really trying to argue me into doing it. I brought up adhesions. Both his sons had adhesions that he forcibly ripped when they were older. They're fine now. So happy to be like everyone else.
I'm having a homebirth!

I'm going to go kickboxing now!

Yes- Circlist is fiction a lot of the time- What you discribed was erotic fiction for a genital mutilator. Read the page on here is you have any further doubts. Part of the tension of the story is the fear and domination- that's one aspect which gets them off. Humiliation is another common theme. A domineering mitary man forcefully scrubbing a pubescent boy? Total porn.
www.circumcisionquotes.com/fetish.html

Americans are biologically different from Europeans? What? Our water doesn't wash like theirs? Since when? How many generations do you have to be an American before your sex organ biologically mutates beyond tolerability? Yes, I bet American women have vaginas that need episiotomies all the time too. This person is a doctor? Maybe you should report that to the state! Yowza!

Love Sarah

Frankly Speaking

Biologically Different????????? The vast majority of us are Europeans for gosh sakes! We are not biologically different! Something like that would be evoloutionary and would take thousands of years or millions of years and the continuing immigration of Europeans here would be continiously setting the evolution back. That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard. How did that guy ever get through medical school?

I agree that a lot of the problems intact children/adults suffer are the result of improper care and NOT because the foreskin is a faulty area that needs removal.Another ridiculous site/quote I came across the other day...

Oh goodness there is just so much bad stuff it is hard to qoute one thing.The bottom section is good to quote on the misinfo

RE: Terrible Trio

Frankly Speaking

Brian Morris along with his cohorts, Thomas Wisell and Edgar Schoen have no hestitation to lie about facts and pervert medical research in order to convince parents to circumcise their sons. Their zeal and publicity seeking at least borders on peversion if not worse. The good thing about the internet is that it is a valuable source of information. The bad thing about the internet is it is a source of bad information or outright lies. This site fits into the latter like a glove.

btw, I have met Wiswell face-to-face. This was November 2000. He was giving his imfamous speech "Pondering the Prepuce" at a Neonatology conference at University of Michigan. I was invited to go to this as a member of NOCIRC - we had a booth of information there. Yes, we knew Wiswell would be there. I can't say much good about the man- he is a liar. You can see it in his eyes when you talk to him. I chatted with him for quite a while about premature babies- JUST to not be talking about circ, so that I could look at him to see what kind of a person he is. I don't have to tell you the answer to that!

Circoncisione: nessun beneficio per Hiv o Mst

PUERTO RICO: No benefit from circumcision for HIV, STDS



Puero Rico: Circumcision not protective
Circumcision does not protect men against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases, according to a study conducted in Puerto Rico.

The 660 men were randomly sampled from an STD clinic waiting room. Almost a third of them were circumcised.

The circumcised men reported significantly (but not greatly) more STDs in their lifetimes, were more likely to have been diagnosed with warts, and were more likely to have HIV.

More than Foreskin: Circumcision Status, History of HIV/STI, and Sexual Risk in a Clinic-Based Sample of Men in Puerto Rico.

Abstract

Introduction. Circumcision among adult men has been widely promoted as a strategy to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission risk. However, much of the available data derive from studies conducted in Africa, and there is as yet little research in the Caribbean region where sexual transmission is also a primary contributor to rapidly escalating HIV incidence.

Aim. In an effort to fill the void of data from the Caribbean, the objective of this article is to compare history of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and HIV diagnosis in relation to circumcision status in a clinic-based sample of men in Puerto Rico.

Methods. Data derive from an ongoing epidemiological study being conducted in a large STI/HIV prevention and treatment center in San Juan in which 660 men were randomly selected from the clinic's waiting room.

Main Outcome Measures. We assessed the association between circumcision status and self-reported history of STI/HIV infection using logistic regressions to explore whether circumcision conferred protective benefit.

Results. Almost a third (32.4%) of the men were circumcised (CM). Compared with uncircumcised (UC) men, CM have accumulated larger numbers of STI in their lifetime (CM = 73.4% vs. UC = 65.7%; P = 0.048), have higher rates of previous diagnosis of warts (CM = 18.8% vs. UC = 12.2%; P = 0.024), and were more likely to have HIV infection (CM = 43.0% vs. UC = 33.9%; P = 0.023). Results indicate that being CM predicted the likelihood of HIV infection (P value = 0.027).

Conclusions. These analyses represent the first assessment of the association between circumcision and STI/HIV among men in the Caribbean. While preliminary, the data indicate that in and of itself, circumcision did not confer significant protective benefit against STI/HIV infection. [Actually, what the the data indicate is that intactness confers significant protection, compared to being circumcised.] Findings suggest the need to apply caution in the use of circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy, particularly in settings where more effective combinations of interventions have yet to be fully implemented.

Scoraggiare la circoncisione maschile

Discourage circumcising boys

Katholieknieuwsblad (Amsterdam)
16 augustus 2012

Recently appeared in KN an article by Rabbi Lody van de Kamp , which it breaks the staff about the fact that doctors federation KNMG to discourage boys circumcision advocates. Yet the reasons for such a clear discouragement.

La circoncisione viola l’etica medica, è in contrasto con il principio fondamentale di Ippocrate a cui tutti i medici prestano solenne giuramento 'in primo luogo non nuocere' e la regola per cui quando i bambini non sono in grado di decidere per se, possono essere sottoposti a un trattamento solo se per motivi medici. Questa è la premessa del Knmg, l'organizzazione medica dei Paesi Bassi.

Noxiousness

The International Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) says that the government is required to ensure that harmful traditional practices be eliminated. Science is no doubt that circumcision is harmful. When circumcision is 25-50 percent of the healthy tissue of the penis removed. In an adult man, the foreskin about the size of a postcard. Immediately after the operation occurs in two to five percent of the boys an infection or bleeding, which may require hospitalization.

Many boys (up to twenty percent) receive later a stricture urethra, causing problems with urination and bladder can cause. Still later get circumcised men and their partners much more sexual problems than non-circumcised men because a circumcised penis is less sensitive. Also, many men complain about the fact that they are circumcised without their consent. Any medical benefits - including a possible reduced risk of HIV transmission - are relevant at a later age and can not justify circumcision in infancy.


Religious freedom or physical integrity?

The debate about boys circumcision is often seen as a contradiction between the right to physical integrity of the child and the right to religious freedom of parents. What emerges is often forgotten that the ICRC is also the child's right to freedom of religion guarantees. This freedom implies that it is permissible for a child to educate religious, but that the child should keep the freedom to later choose a different opinion. This means that the child should remain protected from irreversible physical religious characters. |

A German court recently ruled that the right to religious freedom of parents is bounded by the right to physical integrity of the child. This legal ruling fits into a debate about circumcision boys in almost the entire Western world is conducted, even within religious groups. In Israel, a growing group of parents who refrain from the circumcision.

Discriminazione

Il CICR dice anche che non può esistere una discriminazione tra i ragazzi e le ragazze.. E 'anche degno di nota ricordare che nei Paesi Bassi, tutte le forme di circoncisione femminile sono vietate - anche in forma simbolica, dove non viene rimosso nessun tessuto - e che invece la circoncisione dei ragazzi è tollerata. I ragazzi ebrei e musulmani non hanno ugualmente diritto di essere protetti dalla legge contro la circoncisione come le ragazze?

La pressione sociale

Molti genitori che ancora praticano la circoncisione sui figli lo fanno a causa della pressione sociale esercita dai parenti, non per una loro libera scelta o guidati da sentimenti religiosi. In America, un gruppo sempre più crescente di genitori ebrei, insieme con i leader religiosi, etici e educatori, hanno dato vita al Brit Shalom, rito alternativo alla circoncisione, in cui il bambino può essere incluso nella comunità religiosa ebraica, senza che l'integrità del corpo del bambino ne venga violata.

Crescente resistenza

La crescente resistenza contro la circoncisione maschile nel mondo non proviene solo dalla società medica e profana, da organizzazione per i diritti dei bambini o contro le mutilazioni genitali, ma anche dalla comunità religiosa stessa. Il dibattito non ha niente a che fare con l'antisemitismo o l‘essere contro la religione, come talvolta si ipotizza solo perché non si hanno altri argomenti validi su cui puntare per difenderla. Si tratta di una manifestazione di una crescente consapevolezza che i bambini hanno gli stessi diritti fondamentali degli adulti. Se non è ammissibile per un uomo farsi circoncidere contro la sua volontà, perché non può essere lo stesso per un bambino?

Scelta personale

La circoncisione è una scelta personale che spesso le persone fanno per diversi motivi, perlopiù religiosi. Fortunatamente viviamo in un paese dove le persone sono libere di fare questa scelta. Ma si deve lasciare che sia una scelta che prende la persona stessa. Perché alla fine c'è solo una persona che dovrebbe decidere se rimuovere o meno il suo prepuzio, una parte sana e funzionale del corpo, che protegge il glande da virus, batteri e infezioni, e questo è il ragazzo stesso quando sarà più grandicello. Non gli adulti, ne i religiosi.

Visibility of the urethral meatus and risk of urinary tract infections in uncircumcised boys CMAJ cmaj.111372; published ahead of print July 9, 2012, doi:10.1503/cmaj.111372


Visibility of the urethral meatus and risk of urinary tract infections in uncircumcised boys

This study does not provide evidence that intact children have an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). To demonstrate an increased risk of UTIs, larger demographic data would be required. The intact-to-circumcised ratio of all children living within the hospital's catchment area would need to be determined and correlated with the results of the positive urine cultures. In addition, all UTIs diagnosed outside the emergency department would also need to be included, as well as the circumcision status of each of those children.


Abstract

Canadian Medical Association

Background: Uncircumcised boys are at higher risk for urinary tract infections than circumcised boys. Whether this risk varies with the visibility of the urethral meatus is not known. Our aim was to determine whether there is a hierarchy of risk among uncircumcised boys whose urethral meatuses are visible to differing degrees.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study in one pediatric emergency department. We screened 440 circumcised and uncircumcised boys. Of these, 393 boys who were not toilet trained and for whom the treating physician had requested a catheter urine culture were included in our analysis. At the time of catheter insertion, a nurse characterized the visibility of the urethral meatus (phimosis) using a 3-point scale (completely visible, partially visible or nonvisible). Our primary outcome was urinary tract infection, and our primary exposure variable was the degree of phimosis: completely visible versus partially or nonvisible urethral meatus.

Results: Cultures grew from urine samples from 30.0% of uncircumcised boys with a completely visible meatus, and from 23.8% of those with a partially or nonvisible meatus (p = 0.4). The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) for culture growth was 0.73 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35–1.52), and the adjusted OR was 0.41 (95% CI 0.17–0.95). Of the boys who were circumcised, 4.8% had urinary tract infections, which was significantly lower than the rate among uncircumcised boys with a completely visible urethral meatus (unadjusted OR 0.12 [95% CI 0.04–0.39], adjusted OR 0.07 [95% CI 0.02–0.26]).

Conclusion: We did not see variation in the risk of urinary tract infection with the visibility of the urethral meatus among uncircumcised boys.

Funding: This study received funding from the Montreal
Children’s Hospital Research Institute Clinical Projects Funding Competition for fellowship projects. The study sponsors had no role in the design of the study, the collection, analysis or interpretation of data, the writing of the report or the decision to submit the article for publication.

There are often complex psychological motivations among some physicians and researchers who compulsively search for "a priori" medical justifications in order to perpetuate infant circumcision. Even if circumcision provided 100% protection against UTIs, this practice could never be justified based on the ethical principle of proportionality - there are effective and less destructive therapies available for preventing and treating urinary tract infections which do not involve the prophylactic removal of healthy genital tissue.

Yes, little boys will sometimes develop UTIs. As with little girls, they should be treated appropriately with antibiotics, not with prophylactic surgery. Are we to believe that non-circumcising countries like Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Japan struggle with significant public health problems related to infant UTIs? If so, why aren't physicians from these nations promoting circumcision as an effective and ethical prevention strategy? Perhaps, they do not share the same irrational fear and loathing of the prepuce as some North American physicians? Circumcision prevents urinary tract infections the same way garlic prevents vampires.

Circumcision was only medicalized during the Victorian era as a misguided attempt to curb masturbation. It was widely promoted by physicians as a means of decreasing sexual pleasure and disrupting the normal gliding mechanism of the penis. We now understand that the prepuce is richly innervated, erogenous tissue which enhances sexual pleasure. In addition, the prepuce provides a unique linear gliding mechanism during sexual intercourse. As physicians, we have no right to amputate this functional tissue from powerless infants without medical urgency.

This study illustrates how our endless appetite for evidence-based medicine can sometimes distract us from the ethical and moral responsibilities of our profession. Prophylactic circumcision is medically unethical because it violates the child's fundamental human right to bodily integrity. Non-therapeutic circumcision is a disgrace to our profession. Canadian physicians have a moral obligation to oppose this cruel practice and properly educate the public about the sexual function and proper care of the prepuce. (Published July 19, 2012)

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

We examined the effect of male circumcision on the acquisition of 3 nonulcerative sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

METHODS:

We evaluated the incidence of STI among men aged 18-24 years enrolled in a randomized trial of circumcision to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Kisumu, Kenya. The outcome was first incident nonulcerative STI during 2 years of follow-up. STIs examined were laboratory-detected Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomonas vaginalis infection.

RESULTS:

There were 342 incident infections among 2655 men followed up. The incidences of infection due to N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, and T. vaginalis were 3.48, 4.55, and 1.32 cases per 100 person-years, respectively. The combined incidence of N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis infection was 7.26 cases per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval, 6.49-8.13 cases per 100 person-years). The incidences of these STIs, individually or combined, did not differ by circumcision status as a time-dependent variable or a fixed variable based on assignment. Risks for incident STIs in multivariate analysis included an STI at enrollment, multiple sex partners within <30 days, and sexual intercourse during menses in the previous 6 months; condom use was protective.

CONCLUSIONS:

Circumcision of men in this population did not reduce their risk of acquiring these nonulcerative STIs. Improved STI control will require more-effective STI management, including partner treatment and behavioral risk reduction counseling.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

We previously reported our short-term experience of foreskin preputioplasty as an alternative to circumcision for the treatment of foreskin balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). In this study, we aimed to compare this technique with circumcision over a longer period.

METHODS:

Between 2002 and 2007, boys requiring surgery for BXO were offered either foreskin preputioplasty or primary circumcision. The preputioplasty technique involved triradiate preputial incisions and injection of triamcinolone intralesionally. Retrospective case-note analysis was performed to identify patient demographics, symptoms, and outcomes.

RESULTS:

One hundred thirty-six boys underwent primary surgery for histologically confirmed BXO. One hundred four boys opted for foreskin preputioplasty, and 32, for circumcision. At a median follow-up of 14 months (interquartile range, 2.5-17.8), 84 (81%) of 104 in the preputioplasty group had a fully retractile and no macroscopic evidence of BXO. Of 104, 14 (13%) developed recurrent symptoms/BXO requiring circumcision or repeat foreskin preputioplasty. In the circumcision group, 23 (72%) of 32 had no macroscopic evidence of BXO. The incidence of meatal stenosis was significantly less in the foreskin preputioplasty group, 6 (6%) of 104 vs 6 (19%) of 32 (P = .034).

CONCLUSION:

Our results show a good outcome for most boys undergoing foreskin preputioplasty and intralesional triamcinolone for BXO. There is a small risk of recurrent BXO, but rates of meatal stenosis may be reduced.
