Clinical Trial Summary

Circumcision is a common clinical procedure for both circumcision and phimosis, which are common disorders of the male reproductive system. For post-circumcision patients, a flexible sleeve penile protection device was invented as a modification of the traditional gauze bandage. This study investigated the protective effect of the device by recruiting post-circumcision patients to use the device and collecting indicators related to post-operative recovery and patients' experience of using the device.


Description:

Circumcision is a common clinical procedure for both circumcision and phimosis, which are common disorders of the male reproductive system. Post-circumcision patients remain at risk of gauze detachment, wound pain and post-operative bleeding, leading to serious post-operative adverse effects, including complications such as dehiscence and infection. The investigators have invented a flexible sleeve penile protection device, which consists of two components, a flexible sleeve and a hood, the main function of the flexible sleeve is to stop bleeding with compression and immobilisation, and the main function of the hood is to provide protection to the head of the penis and prevent the wound from rubbing against clothing leading to pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of a flexible sleeve penile protection device on post-circumcision patients in terms of gauze loosening and dislodging, post-operative pain and post-operative bleeding. This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial of patients who underwent circumcision at Peking University Third Hospital from February 2023 to May 2023. Patients in the experimental group were wrapped with this device postoperatively, while patients in the control group were wrapped with traditional gauze postoperatively. Patients were followed up regularly after surgery, and indicators such as complications, pain and recovery time were collected to investigate the protective effect of this device.
