OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION
Risks
circumcision
Circumcision prevents
Benefits
There is a reduced risk of some
Risks
Adverse reaction to the anaesthetic
Relative Contraindications
Tight foreskin as a result of scar tissue
(phimosis)
Scar tissue at the frenulum may result
to poor wound healing
Penile warts can cause a lot of
bleeding
Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans - a plaque
of scar tissue that extends onto the
surface of the glans and involves the
urethral meatus and the foreskin
Urethral discharge
Scrotal swelling
Bleeding disorders i.e. Hemophilia

Note:
Before injecting any anaesthetic, the surgeon should gently aspirate to make sure that no
blood enters the syringe. This is to ensure that anaesthetic is not injected into a blood
vessel. This safety precaution should be repeated each time the needle is moved, before any
additional anaesthetic is injected.
3. Suturing
a) Simple interrupted - the simplest type of stitch
and results in good apposition.
b) The point of the needle should pass through the
skin at 90 degrees to the skin surface and exit at
the same angle
Note:
The nearer to the skin edge the needle goes in, the better the skin
edge apposition but the higher the risk of the stitch cutting out.
If the stitches are placed at a greater distance from the wound edge,
there is a risk of inversion (burying) of the skin edges and poor
healing.
4. Instrument tying
More economical
than of hand tying as
It uses less suture
material
