We performed a retrospective survey to determine the frequency of problems of the foreskin among uncircumcised children. Among 545 boys aged 4 months to 12 years, there were 272 uncircumcised boys and 273 control patients who were circumcised at birth. The total frequency of complications was significantly higher in the uncircumcised group (14% vs 6%). Both balanitis (6% vs 3%) and irritation (4% vs 1%) were more frequent among the uncircumcised children, but the difference was not statistically significant. Problems with adhesions were uncommon (1.5%) and equal in both groups. Symptomatic phimosis was seen in eight patients. The frequency of medical visits for penile problems was significantly higher in the uncircumcised group (10% vs 5%). Although the overall frequency of complications was higher among the uncircumcised children, most of the problems were minor.
我们进行了一项回顾性调查，以确定未行包皮环切术儿童的包皮问题发生率。在545名年龄在4个月至12岁的男孩中，有272名未行包皮环切术的男孩和273名出生时即行包皮环切术的对照患者。未行包皮环切术组的并发症总发生率显著更高（14%对6%）。未行包皮环切术的儿童中，龟头炎（6%对3%）和刺激症状（4%对1%）更为常见，但差异无统计学意义。粘连问题不常见（1.5%），两组相同。有8例患者出现症状性包茎。未行包皮环切术组因阴茎问题就诊的频率显著更高（10%对5%）。虽然未行包皮环切术的儿童中并发症的总体发生率更高，但大多数问题都不严重。
