What is Circumcision?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis (foreskin removal surgery). This is commonly done in a few communities within the first week of the child’s birth. Men and older boys are advised to undergo circumcision if they suffer from medical problems like a tight foreskin that prevents it from retracting (for which phimosis surgery is done), recurring infections, and inflammation of the penis (balanitis or lichen sclerosis), and if the foreskin is very tight and causes spraying and pain during urination. In healthy newborns, though there is no need for circumcision, some cultures and traditions advocate it.

Indications of Circumcision Surgery

Phimosis (tight foreskin)
Recurrent Balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis)
Paraphimosis (trapped foreskin)
Recurrent UTIs & Lack of Hygiene

Types of Circumcision Surgeries

Conventional Circumcision
ZSR/Stapler Circumcision
Laser Circumcision

How is Circumcision performed: Before, During and After.

Circumcision is typically performed as a daycare surgery, with hospitalisation and same-day discharge without the need for an overnight stay at the hospital. The process of the circumcision procedure involves:

Preparation before Circumcision:

The preparation of the patient involves cleaning and clearing the site of surgery (cleaning and shaving the pubic area in adult men), administering local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, depending on the age and preferences of the patient.

During the Circumcision

Removal of Foreskin: Foreskin Removal Procedure: The surgeon precisely excises the foreskin from the penile glans using specific surgical instruments. The removal technique varies according to the chosen surgical method, commonly utilising a scalpel, clamp, or a specialised device.

Suturing: Depending on the technique, the surgeon might use stitches or other methods to close the incision. For example, in ZSR circumcision, the surgical stapler is used to cut and staple (close) the sides of the foreskin instead of using standard sutures.

Aftercare

Ensuring a smooth recovery requires proper aftercare, which involves maintaining the cleanliness of the treated area, applying prescribed ointments, and refraining from activities that might strain the healing wound.

Benefits of Circumcision

Circumcision has multiple health benefits such as:

Less risk of developing urinary tract infection
Easier hygiene. Circumcision helps in keeping the penis clean
Risk of sexually transmitted infections is decreased
Prevention of penile problems such as phimosis
Decreased risk of penile cancer

Risk and complication of circumcision

Risks associated with circumcision include:

Bleeding
Reaction to anaesthesia
Cutting the foreskin too long or too short
Irritation on the tip of the penis
Infection
Pain
Meatitis (inflamed opening of the penis).

In some cases, the foreskin doesn’t heal properly and can stick to the end of the penis (penile adhesion). When this happens, a second procedure is needed.

Men and older boys are advised to undergo circumcision if they suffer from medical problems like scarring of foreskin that prevents it from retracting (phimosis), recurring infections and inflammation of the penis (balanitis or lichen sclerosis) and if the foreskin is very tight and causes spraying and pain during urination. In healthy newborns, though there is no need for circumcision, some cultures and traditions advocate it.

If you plan to circumcise the baby, the doctor has to be consulted first about the whole procedure. The baby can be circumcised just two days after birth, but if the baby is preterm or has bleeding problems, you need to wait.

Proper hygiene, frequent dressing changes, limiting strenuous activities, and avoiding tight-fitting clothing can significantly aid in the overall healing process after surgery. Monitoring and following up are also crucial steps in the overall recovery.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques like laser-assisted and stapler circumcision are two commonly used techniques. These procedures involve minimal blood loss, no cuts or scars and a faster return to routine.

Slight discomfort may be present after the procedure, which improves gradually with proper hygiene and follow-up care. This prevents the spread of infection and the risk of UTIs.

After circumcision, usually a plastic ring is inserted into the penis which will fall off by itself in 10-12 days. No stitches are involved with it. After the procedure a thin, yellow film may form which is a part of the healing procedure.Have questions about your surgery? Our team will assist you
