What Happens During Laser Circumcision Surgery?

Diagnosis – Laser Circumcision

You can get a circumcision for religious or cosmetic circumcision or if you are unhappy with the size, shape, or appearance of the foreskin. If you have any pain, inflammation, or infection on your foreskin or the tip of your penis, then you might qualify for medical circumcision.

Your urologist will retract your foreskin to examine your penis glans for any signs of infection, injury, or inflammation, and its extent, if any, to determine whether surgical treatment is necessary.

Common diagnostic tests performed before circumcision are:

• Urinalysis for UTI detection by checking the appearance, concentration, and content of the patient’s urine
• Tissue culture/swab tests to examine the foreskin for bacterial/fungal infection in a laboratory
• Random blood sugar and glucose urine tests to find the glucose levels (for diabetic patients)

Laser Circumcision Procedure

Laser circumcision is one of the most advanced circumcision procedures. The surgeon cuts off the foreskin using a high-energy laser beam. Since a laser is used to create the incision, there is almost no bleeding and the wound edges are clean. It also completely preserves the surrounding tissues and is best for tissue conservation.

The surgery only takes 10-15 minutes and has a much shorter recovery time. Laser circumcision is also preferred over other procedures as there is very little postoperative pain or discomfort associated with it.
