Introduction
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the excess foreskin covering the head of the penis, thereby exposing the glans. If this surgery is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and have it performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. After surgery, proper wound care is essential: keep the wound dry and change dressings promptly if they become wet. Additionally, avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods during recovery.
Generally, circumcision refers to a surgical procedure in which the excess foreskin covering the head of the penis is removed to expose the glans. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Prepare the surgical site by shaving and cleaning the skin.
2. Position the patient supine and administer local anesthesia.
3. After anesthesia takes effect, disinfect the skin around the external genitalia and perineal area, then drape with sterile towels.
4. Use a sterile clamp to lift the foreskin, mark the length to be removed, and excise the excess foreskin tissue using a circumcision stapler or cutting device.
