Obejective and Aim: The objective ofthis study is to analyze the effectiveness of corticosteroid creams in treatment ofmucosal preputial adhesions after neonatal circumcision. Material and Methods: The treatment modalities ofpreputial adhesions in children, who have been circumcised in the newbom period in our hospital by the Gomco Clamp technique, were reviewed and the results after using corticosteroid creams were analysed. The patients with skin bridges were not included in the study. Results: 181 patients with preputial adhesions were admitted in the last three years. Topical steroid was used for three weeks in 41 of them. Steroid creams were not effective in any of the patients, and the adhesions were simply lysed after EMLA erearn anesthesia. .. Conclusion: Although commonly seen after circumcision, it is stil/ not clear how to approach and how to treat penile adehsions when necessary. Topical steroid application does not have a role in treatment ofmucosal adhesions after circumcision.
