What is a circumcision surgery?
Disease description:
It's quite common for me to suffer from balanitis, so I went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor told me that I also have a slightly long foreskin and recommended a Korean-style circumcision. What exactly is Korean-style circumcision?

Circumcision, also known as minimally invasive circumcision, is a relatively more precise surgical method for treating redundant prepuce or phimosis. Traditional circumcision usually involves larger incisions and longer recovery times, whereas the Korean-style procedure emphasizes minimally invasive techniques and rapid recovery.
During the surgery, doctors typically use specially designed cutters or circular staplers to precisely remove the excess foreskin while minimizing bleeding and trauma. The surgeon aims to maintain neat incisions and may employ continuous suturing techniques to make post-healing scars less visible. Additionally, local anesthesia is commonly used to reduce surgical pain.
