    The choice of circumcision surgery method needs to be comprehensively decided based on the patient's age, local anatomical characteristics and postoperative care conditions. Common surgical methods are circumcision stapler surgery, traditional circumcision, laser circumcision, etc.

    Circumcision stapler surgery has the advantages of short operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, staples that can fall off on their own without suture removal, and faster postoperative recovery. It is suitable for patients who are sensitive to surgical time or are afraid of suture removal, but the cost is relatively high. Traditional circumcision uses manual cutting and suturing. The scope of resection can be finely adjusted during the operation, and the complication rate is low. It is suitable for cases with severe foreskin adhesions or cases that require personalized design. Postoperative sutures need to be removed on time, and incision care needs to be strengthened during the recovery period. Laser circumcision uses laser to precisely vaporize tissue. It has better hemostatic effect during the operation and the edges of the incision are neat. However, the equipment requirements are high and there may be a risk of local burns.

    After surgery, you need to keep the perineum clean and dry, avoid strenuous exercise to prevent wound dehiscence, wear loose and breathable cotton underwear to reduce friction, and follow the doctor's instructions to change dressings regularly to observe the healing. If abnormal symptoms such as incision redness, swelling, drainage, fever, etc. occur, you should return to the hospital for review in time. Sexual life and masturbation are prohibited within one month after surgery. The daily diet should be light and spicy foods should be avoided. Appropriate supplement of high-quality protein can be used to promote tissue repair.
