Description
Summary:	We report the case of a 24-year-old male patient with skin bridges at two points between his penile glans and foreskin. He had undergone neonatal circumcision in the United States of America. We successfully performed surgical dissection of the two skin bridges, restored the cosmetic features and resolved discomfort. In Japan, neonatal circumcision is not performed routinely; therefore, complications as in this case are rarely seen.
