The surgical procedure for male circumcision includes skin preparation, anesthesia, excision and suturing.
1. Skin preparation: shave off all the pubic hair in the surgical area, then disinfect and spread the towel, open the foreskin as much as possible, and thoroughly disinfect and clean the glans and the coronal sulcus inside the foreskin.
2. Anesthesia: Usually, penile root block anesthesia is used. Usually use 1-2% lidocaine to do the root of the penis local anesthesia.
3. Excision: Use scissors, laser or the now popular circumcision ring and circumcision anastomosis to excise the excess foreskin, the edge of the foreskin is usually left 0.5-0.8cm.
4. Suture: if you use scissors or laser, the wound needs to be carefully hemostatic and then intermittent suture with thread; if you use the circumcision ring, divided into the inner ring and the outer ring, the inner and outer circumcision plate will be clamped between the inner and outer circumcision ring to cut off the excess foreskin, the process of adding wall is equivalent to sewing, adding wall can be removed after a week of the circumcision ring so that there is no need for sutures, the cutting edge is also more neat.
If you use a circumcision anastomosis, use the inner and outer anastomosis to nail a circle of titanium nails, and then cut off the excess foreskin outside the titanium nails, the titanium nails play the role of suture.
The titanium nails usually fall off by themselves in 1-2 months, and the foreskin can heal. Initial healing takes 7-10 days, when the wound will scab over, most wounds are no longer painful, and the edema is almost gone, but it usually takes one and a half to two months for the wound to fully heal.
It is recommended that men who need it go to a regular hospital for circumcision, and follow the doctor’s instructions for recovery after the operation, in order to achieve a speedy recovery.
