After circumcision, anastomotic nails in the wound are not recommended to artificially promote their rapid removal to avoid wound dehiscence.
Circumcision done with a circumcision anastomosis has the presence of an anastomotic nail in the wound after surgery. The main function of the anastomotic nail is to anastomose the wound and it is not recommended to allow the nail to fall off quickly.
The anastomotic nail usually begins to gradually fall off after the wound has healed, usually around 3 weeks postoperatively. If the anastomotic nail has not fallen off after 4 weeks, it can be wiggled appropriately to facilitate its removal. If the anastomosis nail is allowed to fall off artificially early, there is a risk of wound dehiscence.
The anastomosis nail in the wound after circumcision is recommended to fall off naturally, and if it does not fall off after 4 weeks, you can go to the hospital and let the doctor take it out.
