Complications following newborn circumcision appear to occur 0.2-2% of the time. Most complications are minor. Bleeding accounts for about half of the complications, and it is usually easy to control. Infections are rare. There maybe injuries to the penis itself, and in very unusual cases these can be difficult to repair.

The results of circumcision surgery cannot be guaranteed. The only guarantee is that you can never replace the foreskin and erogenous sex nerves. Complications may occur weeks, months, or years later and require additional treatment or surgery. The complications may become known at puberty and not revealed that circumcision is the cause.

The incidence rate of the complications of circumcision reported in published articles varies, but it is generally in the order of 0.2% to 2%. Most complications are minor, but occasionally serious complications occur. There is a need for good epidemiological data on the incidence of the surgical complications of circumcision, of the later complications of circumcision and of problems associated with lack of circumcision.
