Traditional Circumcision

Traditional circumcision is a surgical procedure involving a scalpel or scissor cutting of the foreskin and closing the wound with ordinary surgical sutures. There is usually more blood loss during surgery and usually moderate to severe post-operative pain. For post-operative wound cleansing every time after urination, normal saline, distilled water, or antiseptic solution is required.

Students are expected to be around 1 - 2 weeks away from school. Four weeks after surgery, patients could normally perform moderate exercise postoperatively. Circumcision may occur in the clinic or under general anesthesia in the hospital under local anesthesia.

Due to moderate to severe postoperative resting pain and severe wound cleansing pain after traditional circumcision, our surgical specialist rarely employs traditional boy circumcision.
