What is Stapler Circumcision?

In phimosis, the patient is not able to pull the foreskin of the penis back, and retraction can be painful. Circumcision is performed for cultural, religious or medical reasons.

Circumcision

Symptoms to watch for

  • Tight foreskin
  • Pain on retraction
  • Recurrent infection
  • Difficulty urinating
  • Painful intercourse

Common causes

  • Congenital tightness
  • Recurrent balanitis
  • Lichen sclerosus
  • Diabetes-related infection

Treatment at DLPC

Conventional circumcision

Cuts the foreskin with a knife/blade and closes the remaining skin with stitches, performed under local, spinal or general anaesthesia. Recovery requires several days of rest and avoiding strenuous/sexual activity for some weeks.

DLPC Recommended

Stapler Circumcision

We treat phimosis with stapler circumcision — a painless and stitchless technique. A stapler device cuts and staples the foreskin in one go, avoiding bleeding and stitches. The wound heals faster without a scar mark, recovery is quick with hardly any pain and no need for dressings

Why treat early — Implications

  • Recurrent urinary tract infections if phimosis is not treated.
  • Back-pressure changes in the kidney, which can eventually lead to kidney failure.
