Urethral fistula (aka urethrocutaneous fistula) is a long-known and well-documented complication of male circumcision.[1][2] Uretral fistula after circumcision occurs on the ventral aspect of the penis.[3]
It is an unusual but preventable complication following circumcision.[4]
Treatment
Treatment requires surgery. Baskin et al. (1997) reported that a skin flap may be used to repair the urethra.[5]
