Neonatal circumcision is a frequent procedure performed all around the globe, and it has a low complication rate when performed by trained experts. Our aim is to evaluate the outcomes and potential complications of two neonatal circumcision techniques. Fifteen hundred twenty-one infants who underwent neonatal circumcision at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital between 2010 and 2020, were evaluated retrospectively. Patients who had surgical procedures were classified as Group 1, whereas those who underwent thermocautery-assisted technique were classified as Groups 2. The outcomes and complications of both groups were compared. Group 1 had 758 patients, whereas Group 2 had 763. Both groups were aged 13.69±7.45 days and 13,44±7.70 days (p=0.1). Although there was no significant difference between the two groups when the complications were examined individually, there was a significant difference when all complications were considered, and the complication rate was greater in group 2 (p=0.01). While the hemorrhage rate was higher in Group 1 (p
