After cleaning the skin with an aseptic solution, the anesthetic is injected into the base of the penis. Once this process is completed, the doctor will perform the surgery. At the end of the procedure, there will be a silicone ring/gasket which has staples on it. This ring will fall off on its own after 2-3 weeks, once healing is done.
At the end, there will be dressing of the penis and doctor will show you how to do self-dressing at home. There will post op instruction sheet given to you. In the entire process of Circumcision Surgery, the patient won’t feel any pain.
