Aposthia

Abstract

Absent prepuce in a child is not a surgical problem, which needs no intervention, just exclusion of any other associated anomalies and family reassurance may be enough in certain communities where circumcision is a routine or ritual practice, but preputial reconstruction may be considered in societies considering socially unacceptable and ugly to have a glans penis without a preputial covering. Cases of aposthia could raise a couple of questions which deserve further researches.
