The Shang Ring
The Shang Ring is an innovative device designed to facilitate a quick and painless circumcision procedure with lower complications rates. Composed of two parts, an inner ring and outer ring, this device offers two distinct rings for added safety during circumcision.
Rings are placed on the penis at the coronal sulcus. After applying numbing cream to the skin, an inner ring is inserted into the inner foreskin. The foreskin is then everted over this inner ring and secured with an outer ring which sandwiches it in-between.
Men were instructed to break the ratchet closure of the outer ring using a Shang Ring opener, pull back the inner ring from its edge of the wound, and cut it at 3 and 9 o’clock with blunt-end scissors. Once taken out, men should keep the wound clean and dry.
The men reported a generally positive experience with the ring, with no major adverse events or complications reported. Furthermore, non-physician providers who were trained on using it reported ease of use when applying it.
The Bell Procedure
The Bell Procedure is a common circumcision treatment method. It involves inserting a Gomco clamp underneath the foreskin (glans) and tightening it until there’s pressure between it and its base plate.
At 12 weeks of gestation, the foreskin begins to form as a fold of epithelial tissue that eventually transforms into a bilaminar prepuce covering the entire glans by 18-20 weeks. Circumcision removes both these layers as well as an intervening layer of fatty tissue.
A bell-shaped section of the clamp is placed over the glans and then tightened, crushing the foreskin and cutting off blood flow. Finally, the doctor trims away any excess skin to complete the procedure.
The Stapler Procedure
The Stapler Procedure is an advanced circumcision technique that offers excellent results with few complications. It’s commonly performed on older boys and adult men to reduce the risk of certain penis conditions and sexually transmitted infections.
During the procedure, the surgeon uses a stapler device called ZSR circumcision anastomotic stapler to cut the foreskin and close the wound. It consists of an inner bell that protects the glans, an outer bell with circular blade that cuts the foreskin, and finally, a staple to secure everything closed.
When considering surgery, the surgeon has the option of performing it under local or general anesthesia depending on the age and medical fitness of the patient. A comprehensive physical exam is usually done beforehand to guarantee that everyone is in optimal health for surgery.
