An unusual bleeding following circumcision: a case report
Abstract
Background:Male circumcision is a common surgical procedure that involve excision of the prepuce, which is practiced all over the world for religious and cultural reasons. Medically it has the advantages of preventing phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis, and decreases the risk of cancer of the penis. Common complications of circumcision are hemorrhage, sepsis, and inadvertent trauma. Excessive unusual bleeding may follow circumcision in hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. We report a case of such bleeding that necessitated transfusion of blood and fresh frozen plasma.
