Suturless circumcision, also known as stitchless circumcision, is a minimally invasive surgery performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
By means of a specially designed device, the circumcision is performed in less than 5 minutes without bleeding, without pain and without stitches, leaving a row of staples that fall out by themselves in the following days.
What are the advantages over traditional surgery?
Stitchless circumcision has a number of advantages over traditional surgery, as it is a much faster procedure:
- Much faster
- No pain at all
- With fewer postoperative complications of bleeding, edema, infection, etc.
- Faster recovery
- Less postoperative discomfort
- Better aesthetic result in the resulting scar.
What is the postoperative period like and what care is needed?
The postoperative period is very simple. The patient should wear a bandage for a few days. On the other hand, it is important to make cures with Betadine, as well as to stimulate the fall of staples from 7 days after the intervention.
Which patients can undergo it?
Patients who can undergo this procedure are those who are candidates for circumcision, either for phimosis, aesthetic or cultural reasons.
