Circumcision

DAY SURGERY

In most cases, circumcision can be done as a day surgery procedure, in the hospital.  The patient is usually given general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure that there is no discomfort during the procedure.

LASER CIRCUMCISION

In most cases, a laser can be used to remove the foreskin. The advantage of the laser is that it cuts the skin and at the same time, seals the blood vessels so there is less bleeding. After that, the wound is carefully closed with stitches that will disappear after a few weeks.

SAFETY

In our experience, circumcision is a safe procedure. The most common side effects after the procedure are wound discomfort and minor bleeding, which will settle after a few days. In children, one of the possible side effects is that the remaining penile skin may stick back to the head of the penis.
