Çocukluk çağı sünnet komplikasyonları ve önlenebilirliği

Sünnet tüm dünya genelinde en yaygın olarak uygulanılan cerrahi müdahaledir. Tıbbi nedenli sünnet uygulamalarının dışında kültürel ve dini sünnet uygulamaları da mevcuttur. Bu cerrahi müdahalenin sık yapılıyor olması işlem esnasında ve sonrasında ortaya çıkan komplikasyonların önemini arttırır. Sünnetin tıp dışı şahıslar tarafından da uygun olmayan şartlar altında yetersiz bilgi ve tecrübe ile yaygın olarak yapılıyor olması komplikasyon ihtimalini daha da artırmakta, kimi zaman telafisi mümkün olmayan doku ve organ kayıpları ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sünnet operasyonu esnasında ve sonrasında ortaya çıkabilecek komplikasyonların bu cerrahi müdahaleyi yapanlar tarafından iyi bilinmesi gereklidir. Bu nedenle yazımızda muhtemel komplikasyonlar sınıflandırılmış olup bu komplikasyonların minimal düzeye indirilmesi için gerekli öneriler de sunulmuştur.

Complications of circumcision in childhood and preventive strategies

Circumcision is the most common surgical procedure applied worldwide. Besides the medical necessities, it is also common due to religious and cultural reasons. The frequent performance of this surgical procedure increases the importance of the management of the complications arising during/after the operation. In our country performing this procedure under the improper conditions especially by non-medical persons or inexperienced operators increases the likelihood of complications, which sometimes causes non-recoverable tissue and organ loss. The persons performing this surgical procedure must be well acquainted with the complications which may arise during/after a circumcision procedure. For this reason, the possible complications regarding a circumcision procedure should be classified. Within this context, the required suggestions are presented in this article to reduce the complications to a minimal level.
