Complication of newborn circumcision: Meatal stenosis or meatal web?

Upward deflation of urinary stream can develop after neonatal circumcision because of a meatal web without stenosis, and can be cured easily with meatoplasty. Instead of 'meatal stenosis', 'meatal web' may be a more appropriate term to explain the pathology in these patients.250Figure.
