A day care procedure for phimosis, recurrent infection and personal preference, performed with fine dissolving sutures and a scar line planned with you before we begin.

Circumcision removes the foreskin and closes the skin edge with fine sutures that dissolve on their own. It sounds simple, and technically it is, but the difference between an average result and an excellent one comes down to planning.
Before any anaesthesia is given we mark the skin together and agree how much will be removed and where the final scar line will sit. That conversation takes five minutes and shapes the result you live with for the rest of your life.
The procedure is performed in a dedicated minor operating theatre under full sterile technique. Almost every patient goes home the same day.
Some men come for medical reasons, others for personal or religious ones. Both are entirely valid. These are the signs that usually bring men in.
Understanding the cause matters, because it changes whether surgery is the right answer or whether something simpler will do.
A confidential examination, discussion of your symptoms and goals, and an honest opinion on whether surgery is actually needed. Some men leave with a cream rather than a surgery date.
Blood sugar and routine bloods where indicated, a decision on technique and anaesthesia, and agreement on the cosmetic result you want. You receive a single all inclusive quote at this point.
You arrive about an hour early, the skin is marked together, anaesthesia is given, and the procedure takes thirty to forty minutes. A light dressing goes on and you are observed for an hour or two.
You are discharged the same day with pain relief, an antibiotic if indicated, written aftercare instructions and a direct number to call if anything worries you.
A review within the first week to check the wound, confirm healing is on track and answer the questions that always come up once you are home.
A check at four to six weeks to confirm full healing and clear you for sexual activity and unrestricted exercise. Further reviews are available whenever you want them.
Swelling and a dull ache are normal for the first two or three days and respond well to simple painkillers. Keep the area dry for forty eight hours, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid cycling or gym work in the first two weeks.
The sutures dissolve on their own between the second and fourth week. There is no stitch removal appointment. Sexual activity resumes at four to six weeks, once there is no tenderness at the scar line.
The scar continues to fade and soften for several months, so judge the final appearance at six months rather than six weeks.
Cost depends on the anaesthesia used, whether a frenuloplasty or other correction is done in the same sitting, the degree of scarring, and whether the case is a revision of previous surgery. A straightforward adult circumcision under local anaesthesia sits at the lower end of the range. You receive a single all inclusive figure after examination, covering surgeon, theatre, anaesthesia, dressings and follow up visits.
There is no single best technique, only the best technique for your anatomy. Here is how we choose.
The foreskin is removed with a scalpel and the edge closed with fine dissolving sutures. It gives complete control over how much skin is taken, which makes it the right answer for tight phimosis, scarred tissue and revision cases.
Ask about thisA single use device removes and seals in one action, taking ten to fifteen minutes. Excellent for a young man with healthy, normal foreskin. Less suitable when the anatomy is unusual, because the device size decides how much skin comes off.
Ask about thisElectrocautery is used to cut and seal simultaneously, which reduces bleeding during the procedure. It sits between the other two techniques for speed, cost and control, and works well in straightforward cases.
Ask about thisWhere a short frenulum pulls tight or tears during erection, it is released in the same sitting. This adds only a few minutes to theatre time and avoids a second procedure later.
Ask about thisFor men left with excess skin, an uneven scar line or too much skin removed by a previous procedure. Planning matters more here than anywhere else, and an open technique is the only realistic option.
Ask about thisFor selected cases of mild tightness where the foreskin can be widened rather than removed. Not suitable when there is significant scarring, but worth discussing if you would prefer to keep the foreskin.

Ask a QuestionThe procedure itself is not painful because the area is completely numbed with local or spinal anaesthesia. You feel pressure and movement rather than sharp pain. Afterwards there is a dull ache and tightness for two to three days, which oral painkillers control well in nearly every case.
Desk based work is usually possible again within three to five days. If your job involves heavy lifting, long periods on your feet or riding a two wheeler, allow ten to fourteen days. Swelling is the main limiting factor, and it settles noticeably after the first week.
No. Fine absorbable sutures are used and they dissolve on their own over two to four weeks. There is no stitch removal appointment. Occasionally a small knot lingers a little longer, which is harmless and can be trimmed at a routine follow up visit.
Research has not shown a meaningful reduction in sensation or satisfaction. Many men report improvement, especially those who previously had pain from a tight foreskin. Some notice ejaculation takes slightly longer, which is usually experienced as a benefit rather than a problem.
Yes. Local anaesthesia suits most adults and allows a quicker discharge, but spinal anaesthesia or sedation is available for those who feel anxious or who need additional procedures in the same sitting. The choice is discussed and agreed well before the day of surgery.
It is, provided blood sugar is reasonably controlled first. Poorly controlled diabetes slows healing and raises infection risk, so an HbA1c test is done before booking. Bringing sugars into range beforehand genuinely improves the outcome and is worth the short delay.
Wait four to six weeks, including masturbation. The suture line needs that time to reach full strength, and restarting too early risks bleeding, wound separation and a poorer scar. A useful test is whether firm touch at the scar line still feels tender.
Get in touch if you have bleeding that soaks through a dressing, spreading redness, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, foul smelling discharge, difficulty passing urine, or pain that worsens after day three instead of improving. Reported early, every one of these is straightforward to manage.
