Frequently Asked Questions
What is Circumcision?
Male circumcision is removing the foreskin from the human penis. The foreskin is opened in the most common procedure, adhesions are removed and the foreskin is separated from the glans. After that, it is possible to place a circumcision device and then cut off the foreskin. Topical or locally injected anesthesia is sometimes used to reduce pain and physiological stress. General anesthesia is an option for adults and children, and the procedure can be performed without a specialized circumcision device.
