Circumcision & Reconstructive Surgery
About the procedure
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis, usually for medical, cultural, or religious reasons. Reconstructive surgery restores normal appearance or function to the genitalia or urinary structures, often after injury, congenital conditions, or previous surgery. Both procedures are performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient's age and complexity.
Care before the procedure
- Medical evaluation and blood tests as advised.
Inform the doctor about allergies, medications, or bleeding disorders. - Fasting may be required if general anaesthesia is planned.
- Discuss expected outcomes, risks, and recovery plan with your surgeon.
Care during the procedure
- Anaesthesia is administered (local or general).
- The surgical site is sterilised, and the procedure is performed under aseptic conditions.
- Circumcision or reconstructive corrections are done carefully to preserve function and appearance.
- Procedure time varies depending on type and complexity.
Care after the procedure
- Keep the area clean and dry, and follow wound care instructions.
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Monitor for bleeding, infection, or swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activity, sexual activity, or water immersion until healed.
- Follow-up visits to assess healing and surgical outcomes.
Eligibility
- Medical indications such as phimosis, recurrent infections, or hygiene issues.
- Congenital abnormalities requiring correction, e.g., hypospadias.
- Trauma or injury to the genital area.
- Cosmetic or cultural/religious reasons for circumcision.
