Circumcision

Description

Circumcision is a surgical procedure performed to remove the foreskin, which is the layer of skin covering the head of the penis. The procedure can be performed on infants, children, and adults but is most commonly done in newborns. The process often begins with obtaining informed consent from the patient or the parents in the case of a newborn. For infants, the procedure is generally quick and done in clinical settings. The baby is typically positioned on a specialized board to prevent movement and is given a local anesthetic, such as a topical cream or an injection, to numb the area. In some cases, a pacifier dipped in sugar water is also used to help soothe the baby. **The next step involves disinfecting the genital area with an antiseptic solution. A special clamp, such as the Gomco clamp, Plastibell device, or Mogen clamp, is then used to secure the foreskin and protect the glans (head of the penis). The clamping device minimizes bleeding while allowing the surgeon to safely remove the foreskin with a scalpel. Once the foreskin is removed, the area is carefully inspected for any signs of excessive bleeding or other complications. The wound is then typically covered with a sterile dressing and an antibiotic ointment to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. Post-procedure care includes monitoring for signs of infection, keeping the area clean, and applying any recommended ointments or dressings as instructed by the healthcare provider.
