Outcomes of Complex Circumcisions for Pre-cancerous and Cancerous Penile Lesions at a Tertiary Referral Centre: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Complex adult circumcisions carry a modest complication risk, particularly in oncological cases. While consultant-led procedures had higher complication rates, this likely reflects the referral of more complex pathology. These findings provide a UK-based evidence base for consenting patients undergoing circumcision for malignant or pre-malignant indications.
