Objective. To determine whether it is necessary to delay discharge of newly circumcised male neonates to observe voiding.

Subjects and Methods. A prospective study was conducted in 1992 and 1993 of 51 healthy male, newly circumcised neonates between 0 and 10 days of age. The neonates were observed for the time of first voiding after circumcision was performed.

Results. All neonates voided after circumcision at a mean age of 5.3 ± 2.5 hours, and there were no complications noted in the study population.

Conclusion. Healthy male infants who are circumcised without obvious complications can be expected to void, and it is unnecessary to delay hospital discharge to make this observation.
