Filter by:Circumcision is considered one of the most common elective surgical procedures, particularly among Muslim and Jewish males. Of all the available techniques, Plastibell is gaining traction amongst surgeons due to its safety in the form of a lower complication rate. The current quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the Open and Plastibell methods of circumcision in a study population which comprised of boys up to 5 years of age who were grouped into the Open method and Plastibell based on parental preference. Follow-up occurred on the 5th, 10th, and, 30th post-procedural day. Basic demographic data, procedural duration, and outcomes were documented.
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.
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. In this study, thermocautery, plastic clamping, and conventional (open surgical) circumcision techniques were compared to each other in terms of their short and long term complications.
This is a field case series of Unicirc under topical anaesthetic among adolescent boys, aged 12 to 15 years.
RCT of Unicirc under topical anesthetic w/ cyanoacrylate wound sealing vs. open surgical circumcision under local anesthetic with suturing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of introducing voluntary medical male circumcision as a form of HIV prevention in high HIV prevalence areas in the Dominican Republic.
The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used circumcision clamps (Gomco and Mogen) to see which results in less neonatal pain.
This is a randomized control trial of 400 adult male circumcision procedures with a one to one ratio between Shang Ring and the in-country standard surgical technique (forceps guided in Kenya and dorsal slit in Zambia).
Male circumcision (MC) reduces, by more than half, the risk of HIV-1 acquisition. WHO and UNAIDS recommend that "male circumcision should be recognized as an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention especially in countries and regions with heterosexual HIV epidemics and low male circumcision prevalence." As a result, programs have been introduced and scaled up for voluntary medical male circumcision. Kenya leads with the largest expansion of services. Early resumption of sexual intercourse after MC may have deleterious effects, including higher rates of post-operative surgical complications, and higher HIV acquisition among females in couples that resume sexual activity before certified wound healing. In the context of rapid scale-up of MC, adherence to post-operative clinic appointments allows clinicians to assess wound healing and to deliver risk reduction counseling. Abstinence from sexual intercourse before complete wound healing would reduce the rate of post-operative adverse events and minimize the risk of HIV transmission from HIV-infected men to their uninfected female partners. To the investigators knowledge, the effect of reminders delivered via text messaging to promote adherence to clinic visits and abstinence after MC has not been investigated. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial in which men who will have undergone voluntary medical male circumcision at selected sites in Kisumu will be randomized to receive either the intervention (context-sensitive text messages after circumcision) or the control condition (usual care). This study seeks to determine (a) the effect of regular text messages sent to men after circumcision on attendance of the scheduled 7-day post-operative clinic visit versus usual care; (b) the proportion of men who resume sexual activity before 42 days post-procedure after receiving regular text messages versus usual care within the 42 days post-circumcision; and (c) to identify potential predictors of failure to attend the scheduled 7-day post-operative visit and early resumption of sexual intercourse.
