it is very effective to remove the foreskin especially if you are afraid of the
pain and agony that other procedures can cause. Other than this reason several
others are there that can make you decide for having this approach.
No Anesthesia:
The best advantage that this technique is that it doesn’t
use any type of anesthesiato sedate the
patients. As the flow of the blood is blocked, the skin which doesn’t receivethe
blood becomes dead and the skin is easily removed.
Dead Skin is cut:
The dead skin is cut with the help of surgical scissors but
it is done with care as the other one can be removed that is why there is no
pain felt.
Bleeding Of course not:
As the blood flow is stopped to reach the part of the skin
of the penisthat has to be cut, when the
skin is taken out there is no bleeding at all.

When you remove dead
skin from any part of your body; do you need any stitches to patch the new and
the old one? Then how can you except that you will need sutures to stitch the
skin after removing the device.
Pain is relatively less:
Little pain is experienced by the patient'swhen the device is being put on. Otherwise, the operated person feels no pain during the whole procedure.
The Whole Surgical Procedure:
Although, you can be circumcised through various procedures available
in clinics around the US like Circumcision
Center, to have this new technique used you must consult with the surgeons
for the availability of the procedure.
The Basic Device:
It is vital to know that there are basically four parts of
the device of PrePex including a sizing plate, placement ring, inner ring and an
elastic ring to which a verification thread is attached. Various measurements
can be obtained to use it for a single patient. Like all other medical devices, it should be used once and then
discarded.
Point out the Diameter:
First of all,determine
how much the skin will be removed. Use the plate which can decide for you the
length take off. It is vital to measure at least three times to be sure. You
will know the best size when the penis is neither loose nor tight and fits
perfectly.
Sterilize the Penis:
Next step is to clean the penis then apply an antiseptic
mixture or a disinfectant solution. Sterilize the penis 3-4 times so that no
complication may develop during or after the procedure. Be careful not to do it
rigorously.
Placement Ring goes first:
After this, the
placement ring is fitted with the elastic ring and placed onto the base of the penis.Then
retract the skin and apply any good quality dermal cream so that there is no
fear of any further germs penetration.
Inner Ring is Next:
Now the foreskin is gapped so that the inner ring is
adjusted. Two trained professionals must be the ones to do this task. The
surgeon must advise the patient previously that he might experience a little
uneasiness when inserting the curved side of the inner ring.
Adjusts both Rings:
It is time to adjust the inner ring with the elastic ring.
As they are fixed then pull the placement ring up to the mark till where you
want the skin to be removed. Pull down the skin and then release the elastic
ring on the inner ring. Do a little adjustment if it is required and send the
patient home. During this time the flow of blood will stop until where the inner and elastic rings are
meeting.
Removing the Device:
When the surgeon is completely sure that the skin is dead
and can be cut easily, only then the device must be removed. Clean the penis
skin that is to be removed. Then carefully insert the round-tipped scissors into the skin and cut it. A scalpel is used to
remove the elastic ring from the inner one. Lastly, the inner ring is carefully
taken out and the penis is cleaned again and now the patient can go home satisfied
that he has safely undergone circumcision surgery for adults.
