Chronic lymphedema after circumcision, is this due to surgeon making mistake or injuring lymph channel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unusual: It is an injury to the lymphatic channel. Very unusual complications ask your surgeon why and if there is any way to repair it. You might need a consultation with a vascular surgeon.
