Abstract
The most common surgery done by a urologist is male circumcision. In this present study, we have investigated the effectiveness and safety of a novel surgical method for male circumcision by using circular stapler. Ten consecutive adult male patients were split into two groups at random: five had stapler circumcisions and five had traditional circumcisions. The duration of surgery, level of pain perception, amount of blood lost, length of recovery, cost of the procedure and postoperative complications were contrasted between the two groups. In comparison to the traditional group, the stapler group's operating time (min) was considerably less (14.8±0.84 vs. 28.6±3.13 min), with a statistically significant p‐value of 0.008. Similarly, intraoperative bleeding was seen in only 20% of patients from stapler group while all the patients (100%) from conventional group, this was statistically significant with a p‐value of 0.024. The stapler group experienced significantly fewer pain scores after surgery (3.8±1.5 vs 12.2±3.3, respectively: p value‐0.008) than the traditional group. Furthermore, stapler surgery is cosmetically better than in the traditional group (100 vs. 60%, respectively: p value‐0.222). We have concluded that stapler circumcision is a quick and secure surgical method for male, still further studies with larger sample size are required.
