What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?
That urinary retention though rare, can complicate open circumcision. The remedy is simple and easily obtainable, so both parents and practitioners alike need to be aware of it.
-
Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.
No not really novel, but these are common sense observations that do not much of substantiation
-
Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?
Yes
-
Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
Not applicable (NA)
-
If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?
NA
-
Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?
NA
-
Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?
NA
-
Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?
This is not really a scientific paper. It is just an observation an uncommon complication of a common place surgical practice, to raise awareness

This paper does not focus on all aspects of surgery of circumcision. many surgeons & urologist use topical anasthetic jelly or sprays in this surgery & also use local anasthtic jelly insertion into the urethra post surgery to avoid pain & discomfort to the child. passage of urine is must & top priority in the checklist before discharge of these patients. tomorrow one can not write paper stating bleeding as post circumcision complication because it has to be ensured prior & during surgery. such acts of omission can not constitute a good scientific paper.
