}}</ref> In a few cases, the erections may cause [[wound dehiscence]] which requires additional surgery to re-close the surgical wound.
That is not the only source of pain. [[Circumcision]] amputates the protective [[foreskin]]. In cases of [[phimosis]], the [[glans penis]] may never have been exposed before, so there frequently is severe pain when the glans penis touches anything. Many men complain that they are unable to wear trousers for an extended period of time. Only time and [[keratinization]] can ease this pain.
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]].
