Circumcision (circumcision of the foreskin of the penis)
Circumcision (circumcisio) is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the foreskin of the penis. The procedure may be performed for medical, aesthetic, religious, or hygienic reasons.
When is circumcision indicated?
- In cases of phimosis (narrowing of the foreskin preventing exposure of the glans).
- In cases of paraphimosis (acute strangulation of the glans by the foreskin).
- In chronic balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).
- To improve hygiene and reduce the risk of infections.
- For religious or aesthetic reasons.
How is the procedure performed?
- Diagnostics and preparation – the physician assesses the condition of the foreskin and orders necessary tests.
- Anesthesia – local or general anesthesia is administered.
- Removal of the foreskin – the surgeon performs a circular incision and excises the excess tissue.
- Suturing – absorbable sutures are applied.
- Postoperative care – recommendations are provided for wound care and hygiene.
