Boys are usually born with a foreskin that surrounds the head of the penis. Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the foreskin from the penis. However, partial circumcision only removes a portion of the foreskin.
While males can undergo full or partial circumcision at any age, it is generally easier and less risky to have circumcision in infancy. In most cases of partial circumcision, only the topmost portion of the foreskin is removed, uncovering the tip of the penis but leaving the corona or bottom of the penis head surrounded by the remaining foreskin tissue.

Over time and with advancements in medical technology, different types of partial circumcision techniques have evolved for infants and adults. The goal is to make partial circumcision easier and far away from complications and pain. The techniques used for performing partial circumcision are as follows:
Open surgery is a traditional procedure for circumcision or partial circumcision. In this procedure, the surgeon creates incisions along the upper length of the foreskin and then removes them. Neonates, infants, and children with intact prepuce require partial circumcision for religious or cultural reasons. There are also medical indications for partial circumcisions, such as phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis, and balanoposthitis.
Open surgery for partial circumcision is associated with several postoperative complications, and the patients often experience a lot of pain and swelling in the penile region after the procedure. But, this method also has the advantage that any injury caused can be identified instantly and addressed intraoperatively.Â
In stapler circumcision, a device called a stapler or anstomat is used by the surgeon to partially remove the foreskin (in babies or men). The stapler device includes two parts – an inner bell & outer bell. The inner bell is developed to protect the inner glans, and the outer bell consists of a blade to cut the foreskin and non-absorbable staples to close the wound for simultaneous hemostasis.
The procedure of stapler circumcision takes around 30-45 minutes, and depending on the type of anesthesia, the patient can go home within 6-12 hours of the procedure. In addition, the recovery period is shorter than the open surgery technique. It will take you around 1 week to recover completely before you can return to your normal routine.
Laser circumcision is the latest partial circumcision technique available at the moment. Unlike stapler circumcision and open surgery, laser circumcision does not result in extensive incisions on the foreskin. Instead, the surgeon uses a high-intensity laser beam to remove the foreskin to perform partial circumcision. The doctor also recommends it for balanitis, phimosis, paraphimosis, balanoposthitis, and other foreskin infection treatment.Â
The advantages of laser circumcision are early recovery and minimal blood loss. The cuts on the skin at the time of partial circumcision are more accurate than conventional methods, and sutures dissolve automatically within a few days. The dressing required is minimum, and the number of follow-ups needed is minimum.
Partial circumcision in male adults can be performed under local anesthesia. It means that only the penis and the surrounding areas are numbed. The procedure in male adults can also be performed under general anesthesia, which helps you remain asleep during the entire procedure.
Baby boys are usually awake during a partial circumcision. The doctor performing circumcision in infants uses a local anesthetic to relieve pain. Additional methods of relieving pain in infants include topical anesthetic cream and acetaminophen. The baby’s pacifier might also be dipped in sugar water to help reduce his stress while the circumcision is happening.Â
When the patient, an adult or baby boy, has received anesthesia and entered the operating room, they are made to lie on an operating table. Then, the doctor cleans the penis, and a skin-marking pen is used to mark the area on the foreskin, indicating how much of it will be removed.Â
In laser surgery for partial circumcision, the surgeon uses a high-intensity laser beam to remove the marked foreskin. However, in stapler circumcision, a stapler is fitted over the penis. Once fired, it removes the marked foreskin quickly and seals the incision using a silicone ring/non-absorbable staples.Â
If the procedure is done on a baby, the doctor may use a bell-shaped tool or a clamp to lift the foreskin away from the penis head. The doctor also uses thermal cautery tools that use heat to stop any areas of bleeding after the foreskin has been removed.
Without proper care and cleaning, the foreskin of the penis can trap dangerous bacteria. Many parents choose to have their baby boys undergo partial circumcision for cultural and religious reasons and to prevent various health conditions. Adults also undergo partial circumcision to maintain personal hygiene and to treat several medical conditions, including:

The possible benefits of partial circumcision include the following:
Certain risks are associated with partial circumcision. The patients who undergo partial circumcision won’t notice any difference in the pleasure they feel when they have sex, although sensation can be slightly reduced. Possible risks and complications of a partial circumcision include:
  Â
Full circumcision is a surgical procedure where the complete foreskin is removed. In a partial circumcision, only part of the foreskin is removed. In most cases, only the top portion of the foreskin is removed in partial circumcision, uncovering the tip of the penis but leaving the bottom of the penis head.
Partial circumcision is preferred instead of full circumcision for several reasons. You may want to keep some of the foreskins for aesthetic or personal reasons, or you may feel uneasy about removing the entire foreskin, especially if you have had it your whole life.Â
Partial circumcision may not always be a feasible option. If your foreskin has become stuck due to scar tissue formation, you may need to have the entire foreskin removed.Â
In most cases of partial circumcision, the patient can go home the same day as the circumcision procedure. The doctor can prescribe acetaminophen (tylenol) to manage discomfort and pain.Â
The penis will be covered in a dressing that can be removed after about 24 hours. The penis, after partial circumcision, will fully heal from the procedure in about 6 weeks. However, a baby’s penis can recover after about 7 to 10 days.
While the patient is recovering, the doctor will recommend them to do the following:
The patient should see their doctor right away if they notice any of the following:
Like any surgical procedure, partial circumcision can cause pain. But timely medications and following the recovery tips diligently can reduce the pain and discomfort within the next few days.Â
Medical professionals who commonly perform circumcisions include pediatricians, urologists, neonatologists, general surgeons and pediatric surgeons. Â
Your healthcare provider may advise delaying partial circumcision or not doing it at all if the baby:
Several patients believe that partial circumcision:Â
(i) helps in preventing infections andÂ
(ii) helps avoid pain and sensitivity during sexual intercourse, as the external foreskin stays intact.
Furthermore, patients report that the full removal of the foreskin kills specific cells, which may lower sexual pleasure. Hence, it can be said that partial circumcision is better than full circumcision.Â
It depends. Generally, for patients who need partial circumcision for medical reasons, it would be covered,. But for patients who undergo partial circumcision due to aesthetic, cultural, or religious reasons, the treatment may not be covered under insurance.
It will not be painful to pee after partial circumcision since the surgery is not performed on the area where the urine comes out. Urine is sterile and does not cause any infections. It is not unusual to see minor bleeding from the incision for the first day or two.
It is better to avoid putting pressure on the circumcised penis in the first few days of circumcision. However, most babies sleep pretty well following circumcision. The best sleeping position for the baby is on his side, supported by a blanket roll.
Following partial circumcision, keeping the area as clean as possible is essential. One of the best ways to clean the penis is with warm water. Do not use diaper wipes. Soapy water can also be used if required. However, the doctor may suggest only sponge baths until the area is healed.
Removal of too much skin during partial circumcision may result in unsatisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
