Information - Best age of NEW Circumcision
Parents ask about the best or the right age to have their son circumcised. The ideal age is baby circumcision from 3 days to 8 weeks. Our audit has shown that minimum complications of circumcision occurred in an infant under one month of age.
Circumcision (ring method) is cutting off the extra fold of skin that usually covers the head of the penis with a plastic ring. After circumcision, the tip of the penis is constantly exposed.
We use the Circumplast circumcision device of Australian origin, which has the unique advantage that the ring cannot migrate to the shaft. Over many years, such migration has been reported as a potential problem with the nominally similar Plastibell device. The Circumplast device also protects the glans (tip of the penis) and leaves less inner skin, which gives a neater look of tight circumcision.
We have also experienced stitch and glue circumcision in children, Gomco clamp circumcision, Alisklamp circumcision (Turkish Clamp), Mogen clamp and Plastibell Circumcision.

Procedure and Risks
ASSESSMENT BEFORE NEWBORN CIRCUMCISION
Each child is assessed, and a consultation is necessary before the operation by the doctor. If there is a problem or contra-indication for circumcision, a Specialist Paediatric Urologist referral is given to your GP.
Please see the guidelines for parents.
INDICATION
Parents may wish to have their boy circumcised for religious, social or cultural reasons. Sometimes, circumcision is recommended for medical reasons such as phimosis or recurrent balanitis.
PROCEDURE
We perform circumcision on male children using a local anaesthetic, providing safe and effective pain relief. We employ the Circumplast or Plastibell technique (a ring method). A plastic ring is tied around the end of the penis on the foreskin. The top of the foreskin is removed. The ring stays on the end of the penis and prevents bleeding after the surgery. The surgery takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
Aftercare advice - Circumcision
CIRCUMCISION FOR NEWBORNS AND BOYS
After the circumcision, the penis will look slightly swollen for several days. The swelling will gradually settle but might take a few weeks.
There might be some discomfort, so we recommend medication for pain relief that can be taken orally (usually Paracetamol) for the first 48 hours. Always read the instructions on the bottle. Ibuprofen can be given over 3 months after circumcision.
WOUND CARE
The wound must be kept clean to avoid infection. Bathe daily using 1-2 tablespoons of salt. A good clean with running water if the area is soiled. Put Vaseline on the head of the penis with each nappy change.
RING SEPARATION
The plastic ring will fall off within 3 to 14 days (an average of 7). You must contact us if the plastic ring has not fallen off within 14 days or if it has migrated to the body (shaft) of the penis.
IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM AFTER CIRCUMCISION
Please get in touch with us immediately if you have a problem.

RISKS AND SIDE-EFFECTS
In common with any other surgical procedure, circumcision has risks, including excessive bleeding, infection, complications from anaesthetics and excessive or inadequate skin removal. In rare cases, a child might require a redo operation, which is more common in a buried or hidden penis or the child may rarely require hospital admission in case of excessive bleeding. Please contact us directly or telephone Dr Khan, who provides 24-hour support. Consultation and advice can be arranged if required.
