The present work was aimed to assess the incidence of complications in infants of ages up to six months in two used methods. Methods: It was a prospective randomized study conducted at a pediatric surgery clinic in 3 hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Eight hundred and five children, their ages were less than 6 months were enrolled for the present work. Children were randomized into two groups: Groups P and G using Plastibell and Gomco Circumcision methods, respectively. Statistical analysis of data was performed by using SPSS Version 17. Chi-square test and independent sample t-test was applied to compare both qualitative and quantitative variables, respectively. P-value was considered as significant difference at <0.05. Results: Seven hundred eighty three children were were enrolled in this investigation. Plastibell method was concomitant with low volume of bleeding in comparison with Gomco method (P < 0.001). Incidence of complications including infection, penile edema, proximal migration and redundant skin was higher in Plastibell device method (P<0.05). Conclusion: Gomco circumcision is the safer method and is accompanied with lowest rate of complication.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352646719300213Plastibell device circumcisionGomco device |
