Circumcision

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. It is performed for medical reasons (phimosis, recurrent balanitis) or cultural/religious reasons.

Circumcision may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: phimosis, recurrent infections, religious/cultural. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.

The foreskin is freed from the head of the penis, and the excess skin is clipped off. The remaining skin edges are stitched or glued. In adults, the ZSR Stapler technique is popular for being painless and bloodless.

Before Circumcision: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.

As with any surgical procedure, Circumcision carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
