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

• Lower Risk of Infection: Fewer open wounds reduce chances of contamination

• Better Aesthetic Results: Symmetrical and neat appearance

• Quick Procedure: In and out of hospital within a few hours

The Procedure – What Happens Step-by-Step

Pre-Surgical Assessment

• Evaluation of general health

• Local or general anesthesia (depending on age)

Placement of Stapler Device

• The device is fitted over the penis

• Foreskin is aligned for removal

Firing the Stapler

• The surgeon activates the device, which cuts and seals in one motion

Device Removal

• Device is removed after 7–10 days as per healing

Dressing & Discharge

• Simple dressing applied

• Discharged on the same day

Recovery & Aftercare

Healing Time: 2–3 days

🔹 Avoid strenuous activities for a week
🔹 Keep the area dry and clean
🔹 Use prescribed antibiotics and pain relievers
🔹 Abstain from sexual activity until fully healed
🔹 Wear loose cotton underwear for comfort

What to Expect After Surgery?

First 24–48 Hours: Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising
Day 3–5: Most patients return to work or school

Common Myths Busted

• “Stapled circumcision is painful” – Actually, it’s less painful than traditional methods.

• “It leaves large scars” – It leaves almost no visible scarring.

• “You can’t walk for days” – Most people walk within hours of the procedure.

Are There Any Risks?

Though rare, possible complications include:

• Mild bleeding

• Infection (if aftercare isn’t followed)

• Retention of the stapler longer than needed (rare)

All of these are manageable with proper medical follow-up.

Stapler circumcision offers just that:

• Daycare procedure
