Neonatal Circumcision: A Ten-Year Overview: With Comparison of the Gomco Clamp and the Plastibell Device

William F. Gee M.D.1 and Julian S. Ansell M.D.1

1 Department of Urology, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, and the Lexington Clinic, Lexington, Kentucky

The records of 5,882 live male births were reviewed to ascertain the incidence and nature of complications following neonatal circumcision. Approximately one half of the patients were circumcised with the Gomco and half with the Plastibell. The incidence of complications was 0.2%; most frequent were hemorrhage, infection, and trauma; there were no deaths; and no transfusions were given.
