Comparative study of conventional and sutureless circumcision

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: To do comparative study between conventional and suture less circumcision Materials and Methods: The study enrolled 26 cases in total. 13 cases of conventional circumcision and 13 cases of suture less circumcision. The results were compiled and analyzed. Results: Majority of study subjects belonged to age group 26-35 yrs followed by 36-45 yrs. Both groups were compared on basis of - Diagnostic parameters (BXO, congenital phimosis, recurrent balanoposthitis, recurrent UTI, and others).Intra-op parameters (Mean operative time, mean blood loss, mean pain score) Post-op parameters (Mean healing time, mean satisfaction, post-operative stay) We observed that complications such as bleeding, wound dehiscence, oedema and infection were seen in conventional circumcision and no such complications were seen in suture less circumcision. Conclusion- Today is the era of 'Wireless' in technology and here comes era of 'Suture less' in field of surgery. Every surgeon wishes for better wound healing with better cosmesis without complications and early back to activities.All this is possible with use of staplers for circumcision. Stapler circumcision is associated with short operative time, lower blood loss volume, less pain, few post-operative complications and less post-operative stay.
