Adult Circumcision
Adult circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis of an adult male. It is a routine outpatient procedure performed for medical, hygienic, or personal reasons.
How the Procedure Works
Typically performed under local or general anesthesia, the foreskin is carefully removed, and the edges of the remaining skin are sutured with dissolvable stitches. The procedure is completed on an outpatient basis and generally takes 30-60 minutes.
Recovery
Initial healing completes in 7-10 days
Full recovery in 4-6 weeks
Swelling, bruising, mild pain, and discomfort are expected
