What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical excision of the prepuce (foreskin) from the penis. Medical indications include phimosis, paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis, and lichen sclerosus. It is also performed for religious, cultural, and personal hygiene reasons. It is one of the most commonly performed urological procedures globally. Dr. Vipin performs circumcision using conventional sleeve resection, ZSR stapler, or laser technique , choosing the most appropriate method for each patient to achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcome with minimal post-operative discomfort.
