What is Phimosis?
Phimosis is the condition when the foreskin covering the head of the penis too tight and cannot be retracted. This condition causes several issues with sexual intercourse and fertility. It is possible to detect a tight foreskin in children at a young age. The treatment for phimosis depends on the severity of the condition and the child’s age. The most popular option of treatment is laser circumcision which means gentle daily manual retraction or circumcision.
Eravio has a special team of experts can perform the foreskin removal or the laser circumcision procedure in a risk-free and effective manner.
Why Would One Need Circumcision?
But Phimosis is not the condition requiring laser circumcision. Apart from this and religious customs, there are many medical reasons why one may need to get circumcised:
- Phimosis: Condition where the foreskin is not easily retracted from around the tip of the penis.
- Paraphimosis: Condition where the foreskin may be retracted from the tip but may not return to its original position.
- Balanitis: Common inflammation of the glans penis affecting at least 3-11% of men at any age.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Recurring infection in the urinary tract occurring due to unusual bowel movements or urinary functions.
- Trauma: Injuries to the foreskin due to zipper or other circumstances.
- Preventive Action: Avoidance of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and Penile Cancer.

The laser method of performing circumcision is painless as compared to other traditional procedures. That is why it has been considered to be safe for all ages.

The Circumcision Stapler
At Eravio Hospital, we use a very specialised device called the Circumcision Stapler. The disposable circumcision stapler is a hand-held sterile device. This device consists of preloaded non-bioabsorbable skin staples to perform a circumcision. It is designed to cut the foreskin and apply one or many circular rows of staples close to the cut line.
The stapler portion of the device consists of a dome-like structure built to be inserted under the foreskin over the glans penis. The circular cutting stapler mechanism has a manual lever which connects over the out layer of the foreskin.
Advantage of Stapler Circumcision: Experience has proven that a circumcision procedure performed using the stapler has fewer complications than a conventional or Shang Ring circumcision, especially with respect to severe oedema and wound dehiscence.
The other advantages of the stapler circumcision are:
- Short operative time
- Minimal tissue injury
- Lack of electrocautery
- Lesser blood loss
- Fewer post-operative complications
