Does circumcision at the time of antireflux surgery reduce the risk of postoperative urinary tract infection?

摘要

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common childhood disorder that can cause permanent renal damage. Some data support the contention that circumcision reduces the likelihood of contracting a UTI, but this hypothesis has rarely been tested in children that are particularly susceptible, such as those with VESICOURETERIC REFLUX (VUR).
