What is Stapler Circumcision ?
Stapler circumcision involves using a stapler device rather than conventional scissors and stitches to perform the circumcision surgery. Since it is done by a machine the precision is unparalleled and the duration of the procedure is reduced significantly. Stapler circumcision device is manufactures by two leading companies, ZSR and Langhe Medical.

- Patient is shifted to the operating suite and a small injection is given to deepen the anesthesia
- The stapler glans attachment is placed and the skin is fixed to the attachment
- The rest of the stapling device is placed and fixed to the glans attachment
- The stapler is fired and left in fixed position for 30 seconds to ensure hemostasis
- The stapler assembly is removed and dressing is completed
- Patient walks from the theater to his room and is discharged in half an hour
What are the downsides of Stapler Circumcision ?
- It is a mechanical device so customization is less, hence its not suited for patients with cosmetic concerns, glans adhesions and associated foreskin diseases.
- It is costlier because of the additional cost of the device.
- Staples may sometimes not get completely removed on their own and will require a small procedure to remove them.
With Stapler circumcision in the hands of Dr. Raman Tanwar, I was back to office by afternoon. I couldn’t believe how simple and painless it was. Wish I had taken the decision earlier.
