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 brought forth a quicker, safer, and less painful option — Stapled Circumcision or 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:

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

"Stapled circumcision is painful" – Actually, it's less painful than traditional methods
