Revision as of 09:42, 21 December 2023

A skin bridge is a well-known and well-documented iatrogenic complication of non-therapeutic infant circumcision.[1]

Infant circumcision requires that the foreskin first be torn from the glans penis by passing a blunt probe under the foreskin to rip the synechia that binds the infant foreskin to the glans penis and separate the foreskin so that it may be amputated. This leaves the surface of the glans penis in a raw condition.

The wound of an infant circumcision is not sutured so the remnant of the foreskin is free to fall where it may. In some cases it falls into contact with the raw glans penis, adheres, and heals to the glans, forming a skin bridge.[2]

Skin bridges may be surgically corrected by a urologist.[3] [4]

Intact males do not have skin bridges.

Dr. Sacher Kuber of Pune, India explains and demonstrates the release of a post-circumcision skin bridge.
