How to perform circumcision surgery

For circumcision surgery, circumcision, stapler circumcision and other surgical methods can be selected. The doctor needs to choose the appropriate method according to the individual situation.

Circumcision is a traditional surgical method. The doctor will first disinfect the penis and provide local anesthesia, fix the foreskin with a hemostat and cut off the excess part. The operation usually lasts 20-30 minutes. After the operation, the wound needs to be sutured and wrapped with sterile gauze. The advantage is that the operation is low-cost and has a wide range of applications. The disadvantage is that the recovery period is relatively long and slight pain and bleeding may occur. Stapled circumcision uses a disposable ring stapler to complete cutting and suturing. The operation time is shortened to 5-10 minutes. The wound surface is neat and the amount of bleeding is small. There is no need to remove sutures after surgery to reduce secondary trauma. The pain is less and recovery is faster. However, it requires the use of special equipment, which leads to higher costs. No matter what kind of surgery is used, necessary tests such as routine blood coagulation function and other necessary tests must be completed before surgery to rule out surgical contraindications. After surgery, attention should be paid to keeping the incision dry and clean, wearing loose cotton underwear to reduce friction, and following the doctor's advice to use cefaclor dispersible tablets to prevent infection. If there is abnormal swelling, pus, or continued bleeding, timely follow-up treatment is required.

You should rest in bed to reduce your range of motion for 1-2 days after the operation, avoid contaminating the dressing with urine when urinating, eat a light and nutritious diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Use iodophor disinfectant to clean the wound and change the dressing every day. Bathing is prohibited within 1 week to prevent wound infection due to water immersion. Sexual life and strenuous exercise are prohibited within 2 weeks. Sutures can usually be removed 7-10 days after surgery, and full recovery takes 4-6 weeks. If severe pain or fever symptoms occur during the recovery period, you should seek medical treatment immediately. Check regularly to ensure that the wound is healing well. Pay attention to the hygiene and cleaning of the perineum to reduce the probability of inflammation.
