A cicatrix is a scar resulting from "the healing of a wound, such as one caused by injury, illness, smallpox vaccination, or surgery." Scar tissue is formed by dense masses of granulation tissue.[1]
All circumcision amputations leave a scar. The circumcision scar is noted for the unique way in which dissimilar tissue is mated at the scar. There usually is a unnatural visible texture and color change because skin on the proximal side is fused with mucosa on the distal side of the cicatrix.
Problem cicatrices
A circumcision scar may contract and trap the glans penis inside a tight scar, thus creating iatrogenic phimosis. Alpert et al. (2018) presented their successful experience that combines cicatrix stretching with a hemostat using local anesthesia in the office followed by several weeks of topical steroids with a minority of patients needing any additional therapy.[2]
Fekete et al. (2011) reported 48 revisions to adult circumcisions. The revisions were deemed necessary due to such issues as hypertrophic scar (n = 21, 44%), scar wrinkling (n = 13, 27%), incomplete circumcision (redundant foreskin) (n = 11, 23%) and paraphimosis (n = 3, 6%). Two patients required a second revision.[3]
