There are three main types of circumcision procedures that are currently performed in our hospital.
In order to facilitate patients to understand the surgical methods and costs, and to facilitate patients to choose the appropriate surgical method, we would like to give you a brief introduction.
The first one is the traditional surgical method. After the circumcision of the excess foreskin with surgical scissors, the wound is closed with absorbable thread. The advantages of this type of surgery are ① the wide range of surgical adaptations, regardless of circumcision or circumcision, or whether or not suffering from diabetes, such surgery is feasible; ② the low cost of surgery, the total cost is about 900 yuan; the disadvantages are ① the long operation time (30-40 minutes), relatively more bleeding, ② the slow absorption of surgical sutures, it often takes 1-2 months to absorb or fall off, ③ post-operative wound healing is not neat, beautiful. ④ need to come to the hospital for 2-3 times after the surgery for follow-up (wound dressing change).

This is the use of disposable medical devices, namely anastomosis, and our hospital uses the “commercial ring”, which is currently the most widely used in the market. This kind of surgery has the following advantages ① short operation time (5 minutes), less bleeding; ② beautiful wound healing after surgery; ③ no need for wound dressing; disadvantages are as follows ① high cost of surgery, the total cost of about 1300 yuan; ② 1 week after surgery need to come to the hospital to remove the circumcision device, the removal of the ring is more painful; ③ post-operative foreskin easy edema, but 2-4 weeks will subside; slow healing after surgery.
In addition to all the advantages of the “commercial ring”, this kind of surgery does not require the removal of the annuloplasty device, so you can go home after the surgery and do not need to return to the hospital for treatment, with beautiful wounds, less bleeding, light edema and fast healing. The disadvantage is that the cost is expensive, about 2300 RMB.
At present, our hospital routinely carries out these three types of surgery, the traditional surgery has basically been eliminated, the third surgery, as a new surgical method, currently as the most advanced circumcision, by many young patients like, currently by our hospital surgery patients are satisfied with the results.
