Summary
Study start date: July 22, 2025
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study focuses on the practice of neonatal circumcision, which is a common surgical procedure performed on male infants. In regions like Egypt, over 80% of male children undergo this procedure, mostly during the neonatal period. Different techniques are used for circumcision, and the choice of technique can lead to varying outcomes. Understanding these differences is important as circumcision, like any surgery, can have complications ranging from minor issues like swelling and infection to more severe problems such as excessive bleeding and injury to the penis. Participants in this study will likely experience different circumcision techniques to compare their outcomes. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of each method by closely monitoring for complications like bleeding, infection, and pain. Identifying the technique that offers the best outcomes with the least risk is crucial for improving the safety of this widely performed procedure. This information can help guide parents and healthcare providers in making informed decisions about neonatal circumcision.
