How long does circumcision healing take?

Initial healing (wound closure) typically takes 2–3 weeks. Complete tissue maturation takes 6–8 weeks. For adults, sexual activity should be deferred for 4–6 weeks post-procedure to allow full wound healing.

Does Dr. Shahane perform the circumcision personally?

Yes. Mayflower Clinic operates on a strict zero-delegation policy. Dr. Pawan Shahane M.Ch. personally performs every procedure — including circumcision for both children and adults. You will not be operated on by a junior doctor or registrar.

Q: What is stapler circumcision and why is it preferred?

Stapler (ZSR) circumcision uses a circular disposable stapling device that simultaneously cuts the foreskin and applies a ring of micro-staples to seal the wound in a single motion. Benefits over conventional circumcision include significantly less bleeding, minimal pain, faster operative time (10–15 minutes), and quicker healing. The staples fall off naturally within 10–14 days.

Q: Is adult circumcision painful?

Adult circumcision is performed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure itself painless. Post-operatively, mild discomfort for 3–7 days is expected and managed with prescribed analgesics. Most patients rate the experience as significantly more comfortable than anticipated.

Q: What are the medical indications for circumcision?

Common medical indications include: phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin), paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), recurrent balanitis (inflammation of the glans), posthitis (foreskin inflammation), and as part of treatment for certain dermatological conditions of the prepuce.

Comprehensive circumcision services for children and adults at Mayflower Clinic, Nagpur. Five surgical techniques available — from modern ZSR stapler circumcision to conventional and laser methods. Every procedure performed personally by Dr. Pawan Shahane, M.Ch. Plastic Surgery.

Overview

What Is Circumcision & When Is It Indicated?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the prepuce — the fold of skin (foreskin) that covers the glans penis. It is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world, undertaken for medical, hygienic, cultural, and religious reasons.

At Mayflower Clinic, circumcision is available for patients across all age groups — from neonates and young children (under general anaesthesia) to adult men (typically under local anaesthesia as a day-care procedure).

Mayflower Clinic offers five distinct circumcision techniques. The appropriate method is selected based on the patient's age, foreskin anatomy, personal preference, and the clinical indication. Dr. Shahane will discuss all options at consultation.

Medical indications include: Phimosis (non-retractile foreskin), paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis, posthitis, lichen sclerosus of the prepuce, and preputial adhesions. Non-medical indications include religious practice (Islamic, Jewish) and personal hygiene preference.

Available Techniques

Five Circumcision Techniques at Mayflower Clinic

Each technique is matched to the patient's age, anatomy, and clinical need. Dr. Shahane advises the most appropriate method at consultation.

Basic Conventional Circumcision Surgery Nagpur

All Ages

Conventional (Basic) Circumcision

The classic surgical technique — foreskin removed by scalpel, wound closed with sutures. Universally applicable. Most familiar and widely used technique.

Adult · Preferred

ZSR Stapler Circumcision

Circular stapling device cuts and seals simultaneously. Near-bloodless, 10–15 min operative time, staples fall off in 10–14 days. Most requested adult technique.

Religious / Cultural

Traditional Circumcision

Performed for religious and cultural observance. Executed with surgical precision and sterile technique to ensure safe and accurate outcomes.

Infants · Paediatric

Plastibel Circumcision

Preferred for infants and neonates. A small plastic bell protects the glans while a suture constricts blood supply; the foreskin separates naturally. No scalpel required.

Advanced · Precision

Laser Circumcision

CO₂ laser-assisted foreskin removal with precision cutting, minimal bleeding, and reduced post-operative discomfort. Preferred for patients with diabetes or bleeding concerns.
