Circumcision Treatment in Pune | Dr. Chetan Mhaske
Circumcision is the surgical removal of foreskin from a baby’s penis. There are several benefits to circumcision, including a lower risk of diseases like urinary tract infections. Older boys and men get circumcised as well. At any age, the circumcised penis usually heals within a week.
Laser Circumcision:- This is the most advanced procedure of circumcision. Laser circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the excess foreskin from the head of the penis with the help of a high-intensity laser beam. This advanced procedure is non-invasive and causes very minimal pain. The laser beam directly acts only on the foreskin of the penis without affecting the neighboring tissues. No big incisions or stitches are carried out in the procedure.
Laser circumcision is more effective as compared to the conventional methods of circumcision. Laser circumcision is performed as a daycare procedure that means that the person can go home on the same day. Healing is faster and easier and the patient can resume his normal routine within 2-3 days of the procedure.

Apart from laser surgery, other techniques of circumcision are also there. Those other two techniques of circumcision are open surgery and stapler circumcision.
These two methods of circumcision are as follows:
Open Surgery:
Open surgery is the conventional/traditional technique for circumcision. In this procedure, the surgeon carries out the incision along the upper length of the foreskin from the tip of the corona, exposing the glans without removing any tissue. The procedure involves wounds and stitches.
Open circumcision takes prolonged recovery time. Thus, the patient has to stay in the hospital for a few days which may cause some inconvenience. It is a complex procedure and if not performed properly, can have harmful side effects, complications, or even permanent penile damage.
Phimosis - conventional and stapler Circumcision
Stapler circumcision is associated with fewer complications than conventional circumcision, especially with respect to severe edema and wound dehiscence. These advantages of stapler circumcision may be due to the short operative time, minimal tissue injury, and lack of electrocautery.
Circumcision is used to treat or prevent a person from penile health problems. It is a surgical procedure of removing the foreskin (also known as prepuce) from the head of the penis. Foreskin removal is performed as a religious practice for infants in various parts of the world. Infants belonging to Islam and Judaism are circumcised for religious purposes. Circumcision is also performed for medical and hygiene purposes. It can also reduce the risk of UTIs and some STDs like HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, etc to a great extent.
