Laser Circumcision Surgery: This is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive circumcision treatment. During a laser circumcision surgery, the surgeon uses a laser device to cut the skin.

With little pain or tissue damage, the laser energy released by the laser equipment accurately slices the foreskin. Minimal bleeding occurs during circumcision, and the patient's recovery is anticipated to be quicker with little pain or discomfort.

No follow-up appointments or dressings are required after a laser circumcision. After being discharged from the hospital or clinic in Vizag, the patient can resume his normal life after a few hours of rest, usually on the same day of circumcision surgery.

Heavy exercise and sexual activities need to be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks following the laser circumcision surgery.

Stapler Circumcision Surgery: In stapler circumcision surgery, or ZSR circumcision treatment, the foreskin is severed with a stapler device.

Third-generation ZSR devices are commonly used to carry out the operation. The foreskin is removed in one motion during the circumcision using a stapler or a ZSR circumcision tool.

After the procedure, the stapling device leaves a silicon ring behind that naturally disappears after a few days. The silicone ring's function is to preserve the intact state of the foreskin's cut layers until they heal. After a few days, the silicon ring will naturally fall off by itself without hurting or harming the foreskin.

Conventional or Traditional Circumcision Surgery: A blade or surgical knife is used as the cutting instrument during traditional circumcision treatment or sunnath procedures.

The likelihood of bleeding and complications is higher, and the success rate is lower compared to other less invasive circumcision procedures.

Circumcision surgeons frequently use this technique when other options aren't available. Open circumcision requires more post-operative care and a longer healing time.

What happens during the procedure?

The surgery is frequently performed on newborns by experienced surgeons in Kochi, usually within 10 days of birth.

• Your son will be placed on his back, limbs bound, for infant circumcision.
• A cream or injection of anaesthesia will be administered to the penis after the area around it and the penis has been thoroughly cleaned.
• The foreskin will be removed, and a suture will be applied.
• The penis will next be slathered in an ointment, such as a topical antibiotic, and loosely wrapped in gauze.
• The process usually lasts for 10 minutes.

What happens after the procedure?

• The penis normally heals in seven to ten days.
• The penis may first feel sensitive at the tip and may appear red, swollen, or bruised. Sometimes, a small amount of yellow fluid can be found at the tip of the penis.
• Hold your baby gently if he becomes fussy as the anaesthetic wears off, taking care not to press on the penis.
• As the penis recovers, washing it is acceptable.
• Every six hours, change the diaper of a newborn. To prevent the tip of the penis from sticking to the diaper, dab it with antibacterial talc and make sure the diaper is loosely secured.

Parents often have questions about circumcision, especially regarding the timing of foreskin retraction and the potential complications of early circumcision. Here are some important points to consider if you decide against circumcision for your son:

• Your son's foreskin will naturally separate from the tip of the penis during the first few years of life. While some foreskins separate shortly after birth or even before, the timing varies for each child. This process, called foreskin retraction, can take weeks, months, or even years.
• Most boys can retract their foreskins by age 5, though some may not be able to do so until they are teenagers. As a boy becomes more aware of his body, he will likely learn to retract his foreskin on his own.
• It's crucial to never force foreskin retraction. Attempting to pull the foreskin back before it has naturally separated can cause tearing, bleeding, and significant pain.

Hygiene Practices

If your son's foreskin retracts before puberty, occasional retraction and cleaning underneath are sufficient. As he enters puberty, he should adopt a daily hygiene routine that includes cleaning under his foreskin. Here are three steps for maintaining cleanliness:

• Gently retract the foreskin: Pull the foreskin back gently to expose the tip of the penis.
• Clean with warm water and soap: Wash the area beneath the foreskin with warm water and mild soap.
• Return the foreskin to its original position: After cleaning, gently move the foreskin back to cover the tip of the penis.

Circumcision of newborn males is often recommended for health reasons, but for many individuals, it becomes more relevant in early adulthood. It is ideal to let parents or the child, when he is older, decide about circumcision. Parents seeking more information about the benefits and risks should consult a doctor.

Contrary to popular belief, circumcision does not affect a man's fertility. Studies on its impact on sexual satisfaction have produced mixed results. Some reliable sources found no effect, while others noted a stronger response.

The cost of laser circumcision surgery in Kochi can vary based on several factors, including:
