title: [Circumcision by the method of Lucas].
abstract: Circumcision a.m. Lucas is described and the results are given in 85 boys with a median age of four years (range, 2-14 years). The postoperative period was uncomplicated in 79% of the cases. The most frequent complication was bleeding (8%), but reoperation was only needed in one case. Haematomas were registered in 4% of the boys. Glans was free or nearly free in 89% of the cases. Only 12% of the families were dissatisfied with the length of the remaining prepuce: the Muslim parents found the prepuce too long (8%), the Danish parents found that too much of the prepuce had been removed (4%). Circumcision a.m. Lucas gives uniform results, is without major complications, and can be performed on medical as well as ritual indications.
