Febrile UTI risk reduced by circumcision
Overview
Results from the CIRCUP randomized trial have suggested that circumcision significantly decreases the risk of febrile UTI (fUTI) in boys with posterior urethral valves (PUVs). The findings, published in the journal European Urology, imply that circumcision should be considered routinely in such populations to reduce the likelihood of fUTI.
Boys with PUVs are known to be at increased risk of febrile urinary tract infections and circumcision is believed to reduce this risk. Although, no randomized trials have demonstrated this. To fill this knowledge gap, Luke Harper, Department of Pediatric Surgery, CHU de La Réunion, Saint-Denis de La Réunion, France, and colleagues aimed to determine the effect of circumcision on the risk of fUTIs in boys with PUVs.
