Circumcision and orchidopexy are among the most frequently performed pediatric urological procedures. Although they may be classified as surgical interventions suitable for junior surgeons, either procedure can lead to serious consequences including the loss of the respective organ. In this paper, the general aspects of pediatric urological surgery (e.g., distinctive features of informing underage patients, the handling of children in the operating room, and relevant pediatric anesthesiological aspects) are described first. Then, the most important sources of error will be highlighted and potential complications and their management during all stages of the procedure will be illustrated. Apart from the so-called freehand circumcision, this paper also deals with potential complications when using the Plastibell® device. In regard to orchidopexy, laparoscopic procedure shall be discussed in addition to the standard procedure.
