Can phimosis surgery lead to orchitis?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/02/2018

Phimosis surgery, also called circumcision, consists of cutting and removing a part of the skin of the penis. In case of complications during surgery or recovery, involving inflammation of the penis or risk of infection, it could indeed lead to testicular orchitis. However, this does not usually happen.
