ESPU Congress 2018 - Abstract Book

86 29 th CONGRESS OF THE ESPU RESULTS Total 566 MICs (eGP n=468, nGP n=98) were performed during this period. Mean age was 58 ± 2.7 days (median 32) which was comparable in both cohorts. Overall early postoperative complica- tions reported 3.1 %(n=17/556). Infection 1.6 %(n=9), post-operative bleeding 0.7 %(n= 4), ring im- paction 0.4 %(n= 2) and preputial adhesions 0.4 %(n=2). There is no significant difference in early complication rate (p>0.5) between GPs (nGP 3 %,3/98, eGP 3.0 %,14/468). Mean follow-up was 17 days±4.5 (median 6), there is no significant difference between nGP and eGP follow-up(p>0.5). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that there is no difference in incidence of early complications in MIC after a structured training program. A newly-trained GP can safely perform male infant circumcision in a community clinic under local anaesthesia using Plastibell device. These results also validate the male infant circumcision training program at our centre. 14:29–14:38 Discussion
