Summary

Since circumcision is a significant workload for surgeons working at the rural state hospitals in Turkey, the use of circumcision techniques that are easy to implement and have low complications is becoming widespread. This research will examine short and long-term complications of male circumcisions using thermocautery technique in light of current literature.

Conditions

  • Circumcision, Male

Interventions

DEVICE

Thermocautery

In the thermocautery method, a digital thermocautery device (Thermo-Med TM 802-B, Thermo Medical, Adana, Turkey) with 6 different temperature settings was used. Circumcision was performed in the same way as the surgical circumcision. Only cutting and bleeding intervention was done by using a thermocautery device. Cutting was performed by making the appropriate heat adjustment according to the age of the child and the thickness of the glans. Hemorrhage control was performed with a thermocautery device and then the skin-mucosa integrity was ensured by using a 5/0 absorbable suture
