Pain
,using ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999
* Circumcision is inexact surgery. Surgeons have to guess at how much skin to amputate, so they frequently get it wrong. If sufficient skin is not available to permit penis expansion during times of erection, then taut, painful erections are the result. This complication may be treated by [[tissue expansion]]. The tension may also cause [[wound dehiscence]], which would cause additional pain.
* Neuromas may form at the [[circumcision scar]]. Cold & Taylor (1999) reported that they are "notorious for generating pain.".<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{REFjournal |last=Cold |init=CJ |author-link=Christopher J.
