Zusammenfassung

Die Zirkumzision als eine der am häufigsten ambulant durchgeführten Operationen birgt neben den typischen auch seltene operative Komplikationen, die mitunter fatale Folgen haben können. Besonders zu berücksichtigen sind vor allem die rechtlichen Aspekte des operativen Eingriffs, die Anforderungen, die an die Indikationsstellung und die präoperative Aufklärung ebenso wie an die postoperative Überwachung und Nachsorge gestellt werden.

Die unterschiedlichen Häufigkeiten der durchgeführten Zirkumzisionen in einzelnen europäischen Ländern zeigen, wie verschieden die Operationsindikationen gestellt werden. Es liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass viele Operationen und damit auch viele Komplikationen vermeidbar sind.

Abstract

As one of the most frequently performed operations circumcisions can entail not only typical but also rare complications with possibly fatal consequences. The following areas are of particular importance: legal aspects of the operation, indication for an operation, pre-operative information, post-operative surveillance and after-care.

The amount of circumcisions carried out in different European countries vary widely. This shows a difference in indication assessment, which may suppose that a number of operations are not necessary.
