Abstract
Casual observations on the apparent increase in incidence of pinpoint urinary meatus in male infants suggest that such a condition has become more common since the advent of some of the more recent circumcision techniques. While I have not gone into measurements and statistics, it is my distinct clinical impression that infants circumcised with the plastic bell method have the highest incidence of pinpoint meatus, those with the Gomco clamp tend to fall into an intermediate group, and those circumcised without the use of either of these techniques have the traditional slitlike meatus.Keywords
