| | The Ulcerated Urethral Meatus in [Circumcised] Male Children |
| | Ulceration and coartation of the urethral meatus is frequently observed in clinics and private practice. | | | The acute condition with difficulty and pain in voiding is best treated according to Brennemann’s proposal, by a drop of 2 per cent novacain solution on the surface of the ulcers, which immediately relieves pain and enables the children to urinate. | | | In order to approach this problem, the urethral orifices of circumcised babies and young boys visiting the clinics was carefully checked and their anterior-posterior diameters measured. |
