Objective: Circumcision is one of the most widely used surgical procedures worldwide. It has been suggested that circumcision reduces the frequency of urinary tract infection (UTI) 10-20 times. However no studies exist investigating the effect of circumcision on UTI frequency and growth in infants with antenatal hydronephrosis (AH). In this study therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of circumcision on postnatal UTI frequency and growth in infants without urological abnormality despite the diagnosis of antenatal hydronephrosis.
