Circumcision with A Stapler Compared To Conventional Circumcision

Abstract Male circumcision is one of the earliest operations performed by humans. This procedure has the potential to decrease the risk of sexually transmitted diseases such as human papillomavirus, genital ulcer disease, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection [1]. Additionally, it improves penile topical hygiene and reduces the incidence of balanitis and penile cancer. This is indeed influenced by several factors such as culture, beliefs, ethnicity, tradition, and health factors. In terms of community health, circumcision has advantages in preventing HIV disease. And from a medical point of view, it can reduce the rate of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Conventional male circumcision as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) includes three techniques: the dorsal slit, the forceps-guided method, and sleeve resection [2]. Research indicates that circumcision devices can reduce the complexity and duration of the male circumcision procedure; however, the high number of circumcisions performed can be demanding on both human and financial resources.
