Painless Circumcision For Children

This article explains how each one works and how your child can be made as comfortable as possible during the procedure. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions. It takes about fifteen minutes and is considered painless.

In-office circumcision

You can choose when you want to circumcise. The most common time to perform circumcision is shortly after birth, usually within the first year of life. You can perform surgery while your child is awake. Your child will not feel any pain. Older babies, however, should be anesthetized, so that there are no risks of injury to their penis. As children grow, they begin to be aware of their sexual organs and may be afraid of getting it cut.

An in-office circumcision is painless and can last less than an hour. The operative time will depend on whether or not the child has prior infections or adhesions. The procedure is usually painless and quick thanks to local anesthesia. However, some patients may prefer to have general or spinal anesthesia. The recovery time for this procedure takes approximately one to two weeks, although most patients don’t feel any pain.

Laser circumcision

The laser is an non-invasive, low energy source that produces pulses lasting 250-335 milliseconds. The laser energy is delivered through an optical fibre to the prepuce. The conventional surgical team uses long, straight forceps to cut the preputial skin just below the corona. Electrocoagulation is then used to complete the operation. Laser circumcision is painless and quick and is considered one the most safe surgical procedures.

While a traditional procedure involving a scalpel is still the most common method of circumcision, laser technology has significantly reduced the amount of pain associated with it. It causes less tissue damage, hemostasis, as well as less pain. The most popular lasers are carbon dioxide lasers, but the holmiumYAG laser is the first laser that has been successfully used in circumcision. This laser has been thoroughly tested and proven safe.

Pollock Technique

The Pollock Technique for painless, painless circumcision is a highly efficient technique that can be used by boys, girls, and even men of all ages. The procedure uses a Mogen clamp with local anesthesia. Unlike the Plastibell procedure, the Pollock Technique leaves no device attached to the penis. Visit one of our affiliated clinics to learn more about this procedure. We are a certified provider in the Pollock Technique.

Dr. Murray Katz, McGill University’s graduate, has developed the Pollock Technique for painless circumcision. He was a pediatrician for 35 years and was the Medical Director at Tiny Tots Medical Centre Dollard Des Ormeaux 13 years ago. He is also a Mohel, and often performs circumcisions in conjunction with the Rabbi. He has trained over 25 physicians to perform the procedure. He is now a Senior Practitioner Emeritus at McGill University.

Shang Ring

A Shang Ring for painless circumcision has several advantages. It is safer than traditional circumcision and can be performed with less pain. Most men can return to work within two days, although some did not, citing discomfort, pain, and concern over their penis. By day seven, 28 (70.0%) of the participants were back to work and participating in routine leisure activities, despite the pain.

The Shang Ring for painless circumcision uses a suture-free method for the incision. To make it easier to use the device, a small cut is made in the skin of the foreskin. The inner ring is removed from the wound and the incision is closed. The wound was then covered with a bandage, and men were told to remove it after 24 hours and keep it clean and dry.
