  • Title: A very late onset urethral fistula coexisting with skin bridge after neonatal circumcision: a case report.
    Author: Yazici M, Etensel B, Gürsoy H.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2003 Apr; 38(4):642-3. PubMed ID: 12677587.
    Abstract:
    Complications of neonatal circumcision are generally minor and occur early; a few reports exist on the late or serious kind. The authors describe a case of urethrocutaneous fistula occurring 13 years postcircumcision. The patient also had a skin bridge, another late complication of circumcision. The authors suggest erections in puberty as the triggering factor for onset of fistula. To our knowledge, neither such a late occurrence of fistula nor coexistence of these complications have been reported.
