Circumcision Clinic
Circumcision Clinic
At City Care Hospital, our pediatric surgical team is skilled in performing circumcision procedures, using both PlastiBell and general anesthesia techniques to ensure the best outcomes for your child.
PlastiBell Circumcision
PlastiBell Method: The PlastiBell technique is a minimally invasive circumcision approach that involves using a small, plastic ring to facilitate the removal of the foreskin. This method is favored for its simplicity and reduced need for extensive post-operative care.
Procedure Overview:
- Anesthesia: The area is numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure the child is comfortable during the procedure.
- Device Placement: A small, plastic ring (PlastiBell) is placed around the head of the penis. This ring helps to separate the foreskin from the head of the penis.
- Foreskin Removal: The foreskin is removed while the PlastiBell is in place. The ring aids in the detachment of the foreskin.
- Natural Healing: The PlastiBell stays in place for a few days. Over time, it helps the foreskin to separate from the head of the penis, eventually falling off on its own within a week. The area heals naturally during this period.
General Anesthesia Circumcision
General Anesthesia Method: This method is employed for more complex cases or when a more controlled surgical environment is needed. It is typically used for infants and children who might require a more comprehensive approach.
Procedure Overview:
- Anesthesia: The child is given general anesthesia to ensure they are fully asleep and unaware of the procedure, promoting comfort and minimizing distress.
- Surgical Removal: The foreskin is carefully and precisely removed by the surgeon while the child is under anesthesia.
- Post-Operative Care: The procedure is performed with attention to detail to minimize discomfort and ensure effective healing. The child is closely monitored during recovery to facilitate a smooth transition back to normal activities.
- Recovery: Post-operative care includes monitoring for any signs of complications and ensuring proper healing.
Post-Operative Care
For Both Methods:
After a circumcision procedure, whether performed using the PlastiBell method or under general anesthesia, careful post-operative care is essential to ensure optimal recovery and minimize complications.
Maintaining Cleanliness:
- Hygiene: It is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Gently clean the area with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh soaps or chemicals.
- Dressings: Follow any specific instructions regarding dressings or ointments provided by your healthcare provider. Keep the area protected as advised.
- Monitoring for Infection:
- Signs of Infection: Watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, discharge, or fever. If any of these symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing progress, check for complications, and ensure that the area is healing properly.
- Managing Discomfort:
- Pain Relief: Discomfort is common after circumcision. Prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage pain. Ensure to use these medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Comfort Measures: Keep the child in a comfortable position and avoid any activities that may strain the healing area. Provide plenty of fluids and maintain a calm environment to support recovery.
- Additional Care Instructions:
- Activity Restrictions: Limit strenuous activities and avoid bathing in pools or tubs until cleared by your healthcare provider. Stick to sponge baths if advised.
- Follow Care Guidelines: Adhere to any specific care instructions provided by your surgeon or medical team to support healing and recovery.
