Types, styles and methods of Circumcision
Glue circumcision is most popular due to less scaring and post-operative pain
Styles of adult circumcision
high versus low cut and tight versus loose circumcision
1. High and low “cut” circumcision
This concept is due to the scar line from the groove (sulcus) of the head of the penis (corona of the glans) and also depends upon how much inner skin is removed. High “cut” means excess outer skin along with shaft of penile skin is cut, leaving long inner skin. Low “cut” means to cut more inner skin so that the scar line is very close to groove of the head of the penis. Some men think completely opposite to this concept. They may think “cut” or scar line is taken in relation to the base of the penis. These high or low styles are not possible in all men. To put a scar line in the middle of the shaft or close to the base of the penis is not recommended as it leaves too long inner skin which can swell up due to lymphatic drainage (lymphoedema) and also over time, the inner skin stretches to become a loose fold of skin which gives unsatisfactory results in the long term. This also involves cutting too much shaft of penile skin.
2. Tight versus loose circumcision
This might depend upon many factors such as how much total foreskin is removed, the mobility of penile shaft skin and attachment of the skin at the base of the penis at the abdomen (penoscrotal junction). Tightness of skin around the penis is sometimes not possible, no matter how much foreskin is removed during the circumcision. This is due to loose attachment of skin at the shaft of the penis. This might be caused by congenital reasons or the aging process. Tight circumcision should not be confused with quality of erection which depends upon many factors. Erection is not affected by circumcision. Loose circumcision may also be similar to partial circumcision. These concepts should be taken according the flaccid and erect state of the penis. Tight circumcision is not possible for those who have a considerable difference in size between fully flaccid and fully erect penis. They might have a painful erection during sexual activity if a tight circumcision is performed.
Types of circumcision
Full or partial, medical, religious, hygiene or cultural circumcision
1. Full and partial circumcision
Full circumcision means moderate cutting of inner and outer foreskin to expose the head of the penis. Partial circumcision leaves some loose skin which might partially cover the head of the penis and is very similar to loose circumcision. Full circumcision might give a false impression of loose/partial circumcision when the penis is in a flaccid state. Partial circumcision is possible but it has a few complications in the long term. These can be discussed with our specialist
2. Religious and cultural circumcision
Expectations for people who have circumcision due to religious and cultural reasons is to expose the whole head (glans) of the penis. This is possible in most cases. Some people have very short penile shaft skin, mobile shaft of penis skin and partially buried penis due to many factors. To expose the head of the penis is not the best option for these patients as they may require some extra-skin for normal erections.
3. Tight foreskin (phimosis)
This may be due Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO) or Lichen Sclerosis.
ALTERNATIVE TO CIRCUMCISION
There are alternatives to full circumcision, such as excision of frenulum, V-Y plasty operation, frenuloplasty or medical treatments. These are personal preferences and can be discussed further with our specialist.

Before the circumcision
Consultation before the circumcision surgery
You will usually attend the clinic on the same day for the consultation and for your surgery. After consultation, you will meet the nurse and Dr Khan. Before surgery we need to know if you have any of the following:
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Medication such as blood thinnning medicine
- Allergy to any medication
- urinary problems
- Diabetes
- heart surgery
- an artificial joint or any other implanted foreign body
- a neurosurgical shunt
Consider starting vitamin C, 500 mg 3 times a day a week before surgery.
Please stop taking any medication such as any blood thinning tablets 5 days before the operation. Please consult your doctor or GP before stopping these medications.
Aftercare of adult circumcision
24/7 aftercare, free follow up, same day response
Immediate care
Swelling and bruising is common after circumcision
You might experience discomfort for a few days after the procedure but painkillers help to reduce this. Absorbable stitches are normally used which can be removed after 10 days to minimise the stitch marks or can be allowed to fall off after 2-3 weeks. Vaseline should be applied to the tip of the penis. A dressing is applied around the wound line to prevent the wound from sticking to your underclothes and this stays in place for 24 hours in the case of glue circumcision. It is advisable to wear light clothing for 2-3 days. Passing urine is painless and is not affected by the operation.
What should I expect when I get home after circumcision
No exercise for 2-3 after circumcision
It will be at least 7 to 14 days before healing occurs and you may return to work when you are comfortable enough. Most people require at least a week off work. You should refrain from any sexual activity for a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks. When you leave the clinic, you will be given a GP letter if you have a condition called Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO) and need to send a biopsy of foreskin. This contains important information about your operation and BXO. Please take this letter and biopsy with you to allow the doctors to see details of the condition for further management. This is particularly important if you need to consult a urologist due to BXO foreskin or urethra after four weeks of your circumcision.
Recovering after circumcision
No sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks after circumcision
There will be swelling of the penis for a few days after the procedure. This will last 5-7 days and will then subside gradually and should not be a cause for alarm. Most people require at least a week off work.
However, if you develop a temperature, increased redness, throbbing or discharge at the site of the operation, please contact us for advice.

Adult circumcision patient, May 2019
I underwent a revision circumcision by Mr Khan on the 9th of April for a circumcision I had elsewhere 20 years ago. The care I received was excellent. He explained clearly what we could achieve and listened to my concerns. Both Mr Khan and the lovely nurse were reassuring me during the procedure which was uneventful. I didn't feel any pain (apart from a small sting during the injection of local anaesthetic) and the end result was so neat. The use of glue sealed the wound nicely and I would recommend this to everyone rather than stitches. I didn't feel any pain afterwards apart from a mild discomfort the first night. I didn't even need to use any pain killers. I highly recommend Mr Khan and the Thornhill clinic as I was made to feel comfortable throughout.
Adult circumcision patient, April 2017
I am a male in my late 20s . I had considered circumcision for a long time before finally deciding to seek a consultation for treatment . I am very glad that I saw Mr Khan. He was very insightful and helpful. He talked through the procedure and my options. We decided to go ahead with circumcision . The procedure was uneventful. I recommend bringing an MP3 player . I found it helpful to listen to music . Mr Khan and his assistant were excellent throughout . The after care advice was detailed . I revived contact from mr Khan 1 week post procedure and a letter for my GP. I am now 3 weeks post procedure . I have healed well, i am happy with the cosmetics & I am very glad I finally had this done. Mr Khan and his assistant were excellent througout. The facilities were good. Location was accessible. I am highly satisfied with the quality of care that I received . I would strongly endorse and recommend mr Khan to any other men who are considering this procedure .

Feedback from adult patient who has circumcision:
Can not recommend Dr Khan enough. The procedure was totally painless (minus the injections that do hurt but last 2/3 seconds). I was very worried about the future effects on my sex life from having circumscision and I’m happy to announce, if anything, things are better! I had to be circumscised because of BXO. The procedure lasted about 90 minutes. Things were very uncomfortable for around 7 days but the cream provided really hella relieve that feeling. The hardest thing to get used to is the (now exposed) head rubbing against underwear which can lead to some awkward, painful etections. Other than that everything post-procedure has been fine and like I said, things are working/feeling better than before. Don’t even worry about it.
