What is circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves partially or completely removing the foreskin, the skin that covers the glans of the penis. This practice is performed for cultural, religious or medical reasons (phimosis, recurrent infections).
- Common and safe procedure
- Performed under local or general anesthesia
- Duration: 15 to 30 minutes
- Recovery: 1 to 3 weeks depending on age
At what age can circumcision be performed?
Circumcision can be performed from the first months of life in infants, with rapid healing. In children, it is often performed before school age, between 3 and 6 years. Adolescents benefit from general anesthesia. Adults can undergo it at any age, for medical or personal reasons.
What is the difference between circumcision in adults and children?
In infants, the procedure is simpler with rapid healing in one week under local anesthesia. In adults, it is more complex, with recovery of 2 to 3 weeks, and general anesthesia is often preferred. Risks remain low in both cases with an experienced surgeon.
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure begins with disinfection of the genital area. Local or general anesthesia is administered according to age and preference. Foreskin excision is performed using specific techniques, with a scalpel or laser. Hemostasis ensures meticulous bleeding control. Absorbable or non-absorbable sutures are placed. A dressing protects the wound. The procedure lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
What are the advantages of circumcision?
Circumcision reduces urinary tract infections in infants. It also decreases the risk of phimosis. Genital hygiene is improved by the procedure. It reduces the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections such as HIV and HPV. Finally, it contributes to the prevention of penile cancer, a rare condition.
What are the possible risks and complications?
Bleeding may occur, although rarely. Infection is prevented by appropriate local care. Edema, or swelling, is normal after the procedure. Meatal stenosis, i.e., narrowing of the urethra, is possible. Too wide or insufficient resection may also occur. Finally, persistent pain remains exceptional.
How does post-operative care proceed?
Cleaning is done with warm water and mild soap, twice a day. The dressing consists of sterile compresses to be changed regularly. Wear loose clothing, preferably cotton. Painkillers are taken according to medical prescription. Avoid baths, sports and intense efforts for 1 to 2 weeks. A follow-up consultation is scheduled at 7-10 days after the procedure.
