Abstract
Elective circumcision remains a safe procedure with a readmission rate of 0.3%, and a reoperative rate of 0.1%. However, a relatively high percentage of patients (3.1%) will have a secondary encounter within the first 7 days following circumcision, most of them seeking care in an ER, although not necessarily for circumcision-related reasons. These may be useful data when counseling patients.
