BACKGROUND: Although circumcision for phimosis in @entity1 is a minor surgical procedure, it is followed by @entity158 and carries the risk of increased postoperative @entity148 . This study examined predictive factors of @entity282 and @entity148 in @entity1 undergoing circumcision. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of @entity1 scheduled for elective circumcision. Circumcision was performed applying one of the following surgical techniques: sutureless prepuceplasty (SP), preputial plasty technique (PP), and conventional circumcision (CC). Demographics and base-line clinical characteristics were collected, and assessment of the level of preoperative @entity148 was performed. Subsequently, a statistical model was designed in order to examine predictive factors of @entity282 and postoperative @entity148 . Assessment of @entity282 was performed using the Faces @entity158 Scale (FPS). The Post Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire study was used to assess negative behavioral manifestations. RESULTS: A total of 301 @entity1 with a mean age of 7.56    2.61 years were included in the study. Predictive factors of @entity282 measured with the FPS included a) the type of surgical technique, b) the absence of siblings, and c) the presence of @entity260 . Predictive factors of postoperative @entity148 included a) the type of surgical technique, b) the level of education of mothers, c) the presence of preoperative @entity148 , and d) a history of previous surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Although our study was not without its limitations, it expands current knowledge by adding new predictive factors of @entity282 and postoperative @entity148 . Clearly, further randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm its results.
