Circumcision mainly includes the following surgical methods: 1. Traditional surgical methods: Characterized by rich clinical experience, mature surgical conditions and low surgical costs. The disadvantages are bleeding (a small amount) and the need for sutures in the wound. With the use of absorbable sutures, it is no longer necessary to remove the sutures again. The surgery is divided into two types of surgery: (1) one-time circumcision of the inner and outer plates: advantages: accurate positioning of the length of the preserved foreskin, not easy to damage the urethra and foreskin ties, intraoperative control of bleeding less; no residual subcutaneous nodes. Disadvantages: local often due to blood and lymphatic reflux obstruction, edema often does not go away after a long time, the appearance is poor, because the blood vessels not ligated cut during the operation, postoperative bleeding, and even subcutaneous hematoma.
(2) Cuff circumcision: advantages: accurate positioning of the length of the foreskin, not easy to accidentally injure the urethra and foreskin ties, fast recovery, good results, compared to the inner and outer plate one-time circumcision method can retain more tissue. Disadvantages: high technical requirements, silk ligation to stop bleeding to form subcutaneous residual wire knots, the use of absorbable wire wireless knots.
2.Laser electric circumcision: Similar to scalpel cutting, the inner and outer plates are removed at once. Characterized by basically no bleeding during surgery, but stitches are still needed. Due to the laser burns, the post-operative scars may be larger.
3, tool type circumcision: such as Korean ring ligation, commercial ring. The excess foreskin is put on a ring, tied tightly, so that the excess foreskin circulates necrosis and finally becomes dead skin, and then falls off (or cut off). The features are basically no bleeding, no stitches, and basically no scars after the procedure. The disadvantage is that the recovery period is longer and the recovery process is more painful.
Combining the advantages and disadvantages of various types of surgery, cuffed circumcision has obvious advantages, with less tissue removed, faster recovery and less occurrence of edema, making it the preferred procedure for circumcision.
Wearing less clothes in summer can reduce the friction of clothes after surgery and facilitate disinfection and care, so summer is a more suitable season for circumcision.
