Abstract

Circumcision is a common surgical procedure with a complication rate ranging from 0% to 10%, typically including bleeding, swelling, cosmetic deformity, and wound infection. Adherence to postoperative procedures and care guidelines is crucial in reducing these complications. A cross-sectional study was conducted to describe adherence to postoperative care guidelines among patients undergoing circumcision at the Department of Andrology and Sexology - Hanoi Medical University Hospital in 2024, and to explore factors associated with patient adherence. A total of 136 patients completed the questionnaire. Results showed the average age of participants was 29.3 ± 9.5 years, with the youngest being 15 years old and the oldest 60 years old. Patients self-assessed their adherence to postoperative care guidelines, with 86% meeting the criteria. Marital status and cohabitation were significantly associated factors (P < 0.05) with adherence to postoperative care guidelines. Patients who underwent circumcision for cosmetic reasons demonstrated higher adherence compared to those diagnosed with phimosis or balanitis.
