Louisville Circumcision Malpractice Attorney

Circumcision is a common medical procedure typically performed on children in America. Some parents circumcise their children for religious reasons, while others do it for perceived health reasons. For whatever reason a parent chooses to have their child circumcised, the last thing they want is to create additional health problems for the child. Unfortunately, some circumcision procedures do just that. If you or your child has had a failed circumcision, you may be entitled to compensation for any damages you suffer.

Common Complications of Circumcision

Although circumcisions are regarded as relatively safe with a low risk of complications, there are cases with adverse outcomes. The surgical technique used to perform the circumcision, the child’s age, anatomic abnormalities, and medical comorbidities are all factors that can cause difficulties in a patient. Complications of circumcision include:

• Excessive bleeding – bleeding is a very common complication of circumcision. The severity of bleeding may depend on the circumcision technique used, or underlying medical conditions. Although generally manageable, there have been severe cases of bleeding that have resulted in death.
• Infection – when done under sterile conditions, infections are rare, but infections like sepsis, gangrene, and necrotizing fascitis have been reported as complications of infected circumcisions. Patients may also suffer urinary tract infections (UTIs) which can result in more serious problems affecting other organs like the kidneys.
• Abnormal healing – like any wound, the circumcision site may develop problems like keloid scarring or inflammation.
• Amputation – this is a rare complication, but there have been reported cases of amputation of the glans.
• Death – death is rare, but there have been reported cases of death from circumcision complications.

All medical procedures come with some risk of adverse consequences. Doctors are not expected to be perfect, however, they have a duty to act according to the standard of care required of other doctors with the same skill.
