Procedures
Three different techniques of Circumcision

 

1. Forceps Guided - In this method first an anaesthetic spray and  local anaesthetic injection are applied to reduce the pain. The foreskin is eased out in front of the glans with surgical forceps. The required length of foreskin is then simply removed with a scalpel.

Afterwards, it is advisable to take a 7-14days off work to fully recover and allow the wound to heal.




2. CO2 Laser Method - The benefits of using a CO2 laser are: faster operation, limited or no bleeding, quicker healing, minimal post-op pain, pleasant experience and most aesthetically pleasing results.

After being local anesthetic, the prepuce is pulled forward and clamped. A CO2 laser is used to cut the excess foreskin.

After the clamp is released the remaining skin cut has been sealed with the laser, without a single drop of blood. 



3. Sutureless Surgery - By applying a surgical ring-like device, blood flow to the excessive foreskin is thereby ceased. After several days, the excessive foreskin necrotizes and falls off, providing a bloodless circumcision with no open wound to become irritated or infected.

The cosmetic outcomes have been subjectively better than those with standard closure using interrupted 5-0 or 6-0 sutures, with no risk of suture tracks or sinuses.
