Brief Description

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, a piece of skin that covers the tip of the penis. This surgery can be performed at various stages of life and has both medical and cultural significance.

What It Involves?

Circumcision is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in a clinical setting. It typically includes the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: The patient is administered local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
2. Preparation: The area is cleaned and sterilized to reduce the risk of infection.
3. Removal of Foreskin: The surgeon carefully removes the foreskin using specialized surgical instruments.
4. Closure: If necessary, the remaining edges are stitched together using dissolvable sutures.
