Circumcision is the most common and simplest minor surgery in urology and male medicine. The purpose is to remove the inner and outer plates of the foreskin to expose the glans, which is conducive to urination, local cleanliness of the glans, and the reproductive health of the sexual partner.
During the surgery, the inner and outer plates of the excess foreskin of the penis are cut off, the skin edge is closed with hemostatic sutures, and the sutures are removed in a week or so, or the absorbable sutures fall off automatically or are absorbed. The surgical methods are hemostatic forceps method, cuff excision method, dorsal cut method, etc. All the above operations require the operator to master certain surgical techniques. The methods of hemostasis during surgery are ligation hemostasis, electrocoagulation hemostasis, laser knife hemostasis, etc.
Wire ligation hemostasis can lead to painful nodules because of its non-absorption. Electrocoagulation or laser knife hemostasis can lead to occlusion of capillaries around the hemostasis and affect the local skin healing. With the advancement and innovation of human technology, circumcision devices were invented, which are divided into multiple reuse circumcision devices and disposable circumcision devices. There is a risk of cross-infection with multiple reuse circumcision devices. Among the disposable circumcisers, there are Korean, Malaysian, German and Chinese products, among which the Chinese “Shenghuan” disposable circumciser is the most superior, and its design concept is free from needles and threads.
Under local anesthesia, the inner and outer rings of the circumciser are placed between the inner and outer plates of the foreskin to be removed, and mechanical force is used to gradually let the foreskin tissue between the two rings heal while ischemia and necrosis, without damaging the foreskin ties, no bleeding, no sutures, short operation time, shower during the ring, few postoperative complications, and circumcision can be completed in about a week. The scab will fall off in 10-14 days after surgery, and the incision will heal in a linear pattern, which is very beautiful.
