Introduction:

Circumcision is a surgical intervention wherein the foreskin at the end of the penis is removed and it has been in use for many generations in different cultures and religions. Circumcision like any surgical procedure used to be carried out with a sharp tool, a scalpel and stitches and has undergone some changes with embracing technologies. Stapler circumcision is one of the most modern techniques used in the present day, which has the features of precision, safety and work in conditions of a high level of development. This is why at Surgikure, we are happy to include stalar circumcision as part of our approach to unsurpassed, state-of-art patient care.

What is Stapler Circumcision?

Stapler circumcision also referred to as device assisted is among the modern methods of circumcision whereby the circumcision is done by using a surgical stapling device. This instrument has been invented to both server and suture the foreskin at the same time making the application of normal sutures and the risk of complications associated with the process such as bleeding and infection to be minimized. The procedure is minimally invasive and the operation time ranges from half an hour and less.

Stapling device is an integrated disposable appliance which is applied to the specific anatomy of the patient. This makes it possible to produce a uniformly right result besides eliminating the human factor of variability. The device enables the doctor to get a uniform constriction and this translates to the provision of an aesthetically good and functional result.

The Advantages of Stapler Circumcision:

• Precision and Consistency: In stapler circumcision, one of the most obvious advantages is the possibility of achieving greater accuracy and regularity. The cutting and stapling mechanism is intended to diaper and suture the foreskin at the same time in order to derive a clean cut. This minimizes the chances of hacking the tissue or in the process taking a larger amount of tissue than is necessary and thus offers good cosmetic results.
• Minimized Risk of Complications: Among the traditional circumcisions, the foreskin is first flattened then it is cut with a sharp knife known as a scalpel and the wound is sutured. This can at times give rise to some form of risk such as acute bleeding, infection, slow healing among other complications. Stapler circumcision however attenuates these risks because it trims and cauterizes the incision injury in an equal ratio hence decrease in blood loss and hence the risk of infection.
• Reduced Pain and Faster Recovery: Stapling device reduces tissue damage thus helping reduce pain and inflammation that is normally associated with surgeries. Stapler circumcision is preferred by adult males since the postoperative recovery period is usually comfortable and shorter when compared to the other conventional types of circumcision. I also found that with less damage to the tissue it means a shorter time in the healing process so the patient is up and about soon.
• Aesthetically Pleasing Results: One added advantage of the stapler device is that it provides a neat and uniform cut and therefore the final product not only befits its intended functions but also looks good. The accuracy of the device minimizes the formation of scar and other cosmetic marks that are characteristic of most laser technologies, making it to produce a smooth surface.
• Efficiency and Convenience: Stapler circumcision is not a lengthy operation and may take up to half an hour in the surgeon’s theatre. Of this process is the fact that the patient duration in surgery is considerably reduced and most of them can be discharged same day. But probably most important of all, it is simple, quick and less strenuous both to the patient and the surgeon.

• Preparation for Surgery: On the day of the procedure, you will be given local anesthetic to reduce pain and enable you to make no movement during the operation. The surgeon will then align the stapler device over the foreskin with the intention of getting the right size for the procedure. The male penis is constrained and the device activated to both constrict and sever the foreskin, the operation normally lasting under half an hour.

• Post-Operative Care and Recovery: You will be given clear guidelines on a number of do’s and don’ts concerning the circumcision area after the procedure.
