Objectives: We aimed to determine the fre-quency and diversity of the external genital or-gan anomalies, length of penis and testicular vo-lume in boys between the ages of 2 months-12 years who hospitalized for routine circumsicion at center of Siirt.
Material and Methods: A total of 260 boys between the ages of 2 months-12 years (mean age 4.4 years) who hospitalized for rou-tine circumsicion at center of Siirt were inclu-ded to study. They were examined preoperati-vely and detected external genital organ anoma-lies, length of flaccid penis and testicular volu-mes were recorded. Circumsicion of boys with genital anomaly postponed and performed at the same time with surgical correction of geni-tal anomaly. Informant consent taken from all parents.
Results: In the result of genital organ exa-mination, the genital anomalies were determi-ned in 17 (%6,5) of 260 boys. The most detec-ted anomalies were undescended testis (%2.3)(Türkçe özette %2.3 hydrocele), hipospadi-as (%2,3), hidrosele(% 0,76), retractile testis (%0,38), megameatus (%0,38) and penile rotati-on anomalies (%0,38). The mean length of flac-cid penis was 3.5 cm, mean left testicular volu-me were 1,6 cm3 and mean right testicular volu-me were 2,1 cm3.
Conclusion: In this study, it has been de-termined that external genital anomalies requ-iring treatment in early childhood are postpo-ned to later childhood without management. It has been thought that these rates might decline by becoming easier access of the children to he-alth services at this area.
