Abstract
Balanitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the glans penis, and it usually discussed by dermatologists and overlooked by many surgeons. But as many cases may complicate penile surgeries; like circumcision, also these cases may need differentiation from other similar surgical diseases and congenital anomalies. Repeated attacks of balanitis and/or balanoposthitis may be complicated with surgical conditions, which necessitate intervention; like phimosis and meatal stenosis.
