Methods

There are various methods of Circumcision procedure.

We perform circumcision by Plastibell Method, Circumcision Stapler & Free Hand technique.

The Plastibell method is preferred from newborns to 9-11 years old boys.

The Circumcision Stapler can be performed for boys 12 years and above.

The Free Hand technique can be performed for boys aged 12 years and above.

We have the facilities to perform all the above methods either under Local Anesthesia or Sedation.

The sedation option is available only for clients aged 4 years and over.

Plastibell Circumcision:

Also known as Ring method. It involves placing a plastic ring at the top of the penis and tying the foreskin around it. This results in the foreskin getting necrosed or devitalized and falling off along with the ring after few days.

The advantages of the procedure are:

  • Short duration of procedure.
  • Prevents the injury to the glans or the top of the penis, which has high chances with other methods of circumcision.
  • No suturing or any surgical glue needed.
  • Cosmetically excellent results
  • Low chances of bleeding post procedure
  • Tolerated well.

Plastibell Circumcision – Complete recovery is expected within a week or two after the ring falls off.

Recovery

  • The cosmetic look can take a couple of months or longer.

Circumcision Stapler

Stapler circumcision is a new advanced technique that involves minimal incisions to remove the foreskin from the top of the penis.

It can be performed under general or local anesthesia. A stapler-like device is used to remove the foreskin from the top of the penis. The nature of the incision is minimally invasive to reduce the bleeding during the procedure. Stapler circumcision offers a high success rate with almost nothing posts procedure complications.

  • Bleeding – It is the most common complication that can take place with any method of circumcision for clients of any age. During the consultation and even after the procedure a thorough explanation and guidance shall be given to the clients or parents, guardians about management of such a situation, if it arises.

  • Specific complications related to Plastibell.
  1. Retained Ring – In some children the ring can get retained over the penis. In such circumstances the ring must be cut and removed. The procedure takes a couple of minutes.
  2. Buried penis or concealed penis – Due to weight gain in some children, the penis can get buried in the surrounding fat. This is not a complication but due to the surrounding fat. We shall tell you how to look after the child if such an issue arises.
  3. Minor adhesions – Can occur in few patients if the remaining foreskin can get adherent to the coronal margins (base of the glans penis or top of the penis) of the glans. To prevent this situation the parents are educated by us.
