Urethral injury is a well-recognized and documented complication of circumcision.[1] [2] [3]

Urethrocutaneous fistula is the most common type of urethral injury.

Case report

Limaye & Hancock (1968) reported the case of a seven-year-old caucasian boy who presented with a supposed case of "hypospadias". The boy had been circumcised on the third day of life. Upon examination the supposed "hypospadias" was discovered to be urethral fistula, sufficiently large to allow the passage of probe into the meatus and out through the fistula. A surgical repair was successful.[4]
