Circumcision – Stapled

Circumcision – Stapled

A Modern Approach to an Age-Old Procedure

Circumcision is a common surgical procedure performed for religious, cultural, and medical reasons.
Traditionally done using a scalpel, today’s medical advancements have introduced a quicker, safer, and less painful option — Stapled Circumcision (Stapler Circumcision).

Let’s dive into what it means, how it’s done, its advantages, and what to expect during recovery.

What Is Stapler Circumcision?

Stapler circumcision is a minimally invasive surgical method where a disposable circular stapling device is used to remove the foreskin.
It allows for precise cutting and simultaneous sealing of blood vessels, leading to minimal bleeding and faster healing.

🔹 Technique Used: Circumcision Stapler (e.g., Alisklamp or ZSR device)
🔹 Duration: 15–30 minutes
🔹 Hospital Stay: Same-day discharge (Daycare procedure)

Who Should Consider It?

Stapler circumcision is ideal for:

  • Adults with phimosis (tight foreskin)

  • Recurrent infections (balanitis)

  • Children above the age of 7

  • Men with hygiene-related issues

  • Those seeking religious or cultural circumcision with better aesthetics

Advantages Over Traditional Methods

  • Minimal Bleeding: Stapler seals blood vessels as it cuts

  • Reduced Pain: Less trauma to surrounding tissues

  • Scarless Outcome: Clean and smooth finish without stitches

  • Faster Recovery: Most patients resume normal life in 3–5 days
