Traditional Circumcision

The Classic Approach to Better Hygiene

 

Procedure of Traditional Open Circumcision

Traditional circumcision is a surgical procedure in which the foreskin of the penis is removed, typically for medical, religious, or cultural reasons. It has been practiced for centuries in various cultures and communities. The procedure is commonly performed on newborns, children, adults or elders under local or general anesthesia.

Steps of Traditional Circumcision Surgery:

1) Preoperative Preparation:

  • The patient is evaluated for any medical conditions.
  • Local or general anesthesia is administered to minimize pain.

 

2) Surgical Steps:

  • The foreskin is pulled forward and marked for removal.
  • A scalpel or surgical scissors is used to make an incision around the foreskin.
  • The excess foreskin is carefully cut away.
  • Bleeding is controlled using electrocautery or sutures.
  • The remaining edges of the skin are sutured using absorbable stitches.

 

3) Postoperative Care:

  • The wound is dressed with antibiotic ointment and gauze.
  • Pain relief medications and antibiotics may be prescribed.
  • Healing usually takes 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in about 4-6 weeks.
