Circumcision instruments are used at the time of surgery, and the circumcision is complete at the end of the procedure. The Gomco clamp, the Mogen clamp, and Unicirc are surgical instruments. [9] Circumcision devices remain on the penis for 4 to 7 days and either spontaneously detach or are removed surgically at a subsequent visit. [10]
Circumcision is a procedure that removes the foreskin from the human penis. In the most common form of the operation, the foreskin is extended with forceps, then a circumcision device may be placed, after which the foreskin is excised. Topical or locally injected anesthesia is generally used to reduce pain and physiologic stress. [1]
Circumcised penis with frenulectomy (ventral view) (circumcision procedure at birth) Frenulectomy of the penis is a surgical procedure for cutting and removal of the penile frenulum, to correct a condition known as frenulum breve. This condition prevents the full retraction of the foreskin with or without an erection. [1]
Frenuloplasty might avoid the need for circumcision even when a clinician felt circumcision to be indicated at presentation. [3] A swelling of the penis occurs in 10–50% of patients after operation, usually lasting a few days. Reduced sensation in the glans penis is reported in 2–10% of patients. Below 2% of patients experience an infection ...

A less invasive treatment which often retains the natural appearance and function of the frenulum to some degree is a frenuloplasty or frenulum lengthening. This procedure involves a (partial) incision of the frenulum and realigning the edges to gain more length. This makes the frenulum longer, effectively relieving pain and discomfort. [22] [23]
Circumcision is sometimes performed for phimosis, and is an effective treatment; however, this method has become less common as of 2012. [12] While circumcision prevents phimosis, studies of the incidence of healthy infants circumcised for each prevented case of phimosis are inconsistent. [20] [31]
