Abstract

“Keşke bir sünnet hapı olsaydı…” bu sünnet olma sırası ona gelen bir çocuğun dileğidir. Sünnet;dinler tarihi ile başlayan çok eski, semavi, tıbbi ve kültürel bir uygulamadır. Kuşkusuz dün,bugün ve yarın da en çok yapılan cerrahi işlem olacaktır. Almanya’daki sünnet yasağı sünneteolan ilgiyi ve merakı yeniden tazelemiştir.

Sünnetin çok fazla yapıldığı ülkemizde bilimsel araştırmalarla tüm dünyaya sünnetinfaydalarını anlatabilecek ve iyi referans olabilecek çalışmaların yapılması bu anlamda yararlıolacaktır.

Bu yazı ile sünnet ve sonrasında ortaya çıkabilecekkomplikasyonların ortaya konması ve toplumda sünnet konusunda farkındalığın arttırılmasıamaçlandı
