How circumcision surgery is performed

Circumcision surgery usually uses two methods: circumcision or foreskin stapler surgery. The specific surgical method needs to be selected by the doctor based on the patient's condition.

Circumcision is a traditional surgical method. The doctor will first apply local anesthesia to the penis area, use surgical instruments to remove the excessive foreskin, and then suture the edges of the incision with absorbable sutures. The operation takes about 20-30 minutes, and the amount of blood loss during the operation is small. Postoperative wounds need to be wrapped with sterile dressings and kept clean and dry. Foreskin stapler surgery uses a disposable circular stapler, and the instrument completes cutting and suturing at the same time. The operation time can be shortened to 5-10 minutes, and it has the advantages of less bleeding and neat incisions. Both surgeries need to be performed under strict sterilization conditions. Necessary blood routine and coagulation function tests must be completed before surgery to rule out surgical contraindications.

After surgery, you need to wear loose cotton underwear to avoid friction, and change dressings regularly as directed by your doctor. Avoid strenuous exercise for 1-2 weeks after surgery, and prohibit sexual intercourse for 6 weeks after surgery. If symptoms such as persistent bleeding, severe pain or fever occur, you should seek follow-up consultation in time. Daily care requires keeping the perineum clean, drying it promptly after urinating, and rinsing with disinfectant as directed by your doctor. Pay attention to supplementing high-quality protein and vitamins in your diet to promote wound healing.
