Circumcision
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis. It may be performed for medical indications, sanitary purposes, or cultural and religious reasons.
Circumcision is one of the oldest surgical procedures. It is performed to treat phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin cannot be fully retracted. It is also an indication for urgent circumcision to treat paraphimosis, a condition where the foreskin gets stuck in the retracted position.
In addition to treating urological conditions, circumcision can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and the transmission of certain sexually transmitted infections. Circumcised men are less likely to suffer from balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis) and other genital infections. Circumcision also improves hygiene.
Consultation with a urologist to assess the condition of the foreskin. Common blood and urine tests, and a coagulogram. Testing for infections (if necessary).
Scalpels or laser equipment.
Circumcision is performed under local or general anaesthesia and lasts about 30-60 minutes. The surgeon makes a circular incision around the foreskin and removes excess tissue, then applies stitches. There are several circumcision techniques, including classical surgery using a scalpel, laser circumcision and the use of special surgical instruments such as clamps and rings. The choice of method depends on the patient's preference and the doctor's recommendations.
After the procedure, the patient is advised to refrain from physical activity and sexual intercourse for 2-4 weeks. Complete healing usually takes about 4-6 weeks. During this period it is important to maintain hygiene and use antiseptics.
