Description
Ghulam Mustafa Nandwani, Mubeshar Hassan, Devanand Lohana, and Prasad Bollina published a study in 2026 on foreskin checks after circumcision. Many hospitals send every removed foreskin to the lab as routine. The team asked if that routine finds real disease or changes care.
They reviewed adult circumcisions done from 2015 to 2025 at their center. Of 1,648 listed cases, 1,523 met the study rules, with follow-up near seven years on average. A skin condition tied to scarring showed in sixty-two percent of samples. Early pre-cancer growth showed in half a percent, and no true cancers were found. All early cases were cured by the surgery alone. Skipping routine checks would have saved large sums and staff hours. The authors back a selective approach based on risk.
