Background: Currently, although various methods are used, there is no gold standard method for circumcision. Therefore, we developed a modified circumcision clamp inspired by the Mogen clamp suitable for circumcisions performed under local anesthesia in our country. To evaluate its success and complications, we compared our modified Mogen clamp with a dorsal slit circumcision.
Materials And Methods: From 2013 to 2017, we retrospectively evaluated 1309 patients who had undergone circumcision; of these, 832 used the modified Mogen clamp method (Group 1) and 477 used the dorsal slit method (Group 2). The patients' age, surgery duration, minor hemorrhage (not requiring suture or repeated surgical exploration after circumcision but with buffer or clotting solution used), major hemorrhage (hemorrhage requiring suture or exploration), redundant prepuce skin remnants, revision numbers, and family satisfaction values were evaluated and compared between the 2 groups.
Results: Patients were assessed at least 3 times: 1day, 1week, and 1month after circumcision. The mean ages in Groups 1 and 2 were 16.5±22.8 versus 15.5±18.8 months, respectively. The surgical procedure durations were 9.2±1.7 and 15.4±2.5 minutes in Groups 1 and 2, respectively ( < 0.001). Complications were found in 164 (19.7%) versus 81 patients (17.0%) ( = 0.522), including redundant skin in 42 (5.4%) versus 15 patients (3.14%) ( = 0.105) and major hemorrhage in 20 (2.4%) versus 15 patients (3.3%) ( = 0.230) in Groups 1 and 2, respectively.
Conclusion: Under local anesthesia, the circumcision procedure with the modified Mogen clamp can be performed more rapidly than with the dorsal slit, and the cosmetic results are better as the incision line is more regular. All postoperative complications were similar, with problems related to redundant skin occurring more frequently with clamp circumcision.

Circumcision is a common procedure performed since ancient times with an excellent safety profile and potential health benefits. In the United States, it is commonly performed in the neonatal period using devices such as the Gomco, Mogen, or Plastibell device. In the rare circumstance of a complication, it is often related to bleeding and usually managed conservatively.

Background: This study aimed to characterise the infant penile (coronal sulcus) microbiome and the effects of early infant male circumcision (EIMC), following a standard surgical method (Mogen Clamp) and a non-surgical alternative (ShangRing).
Methods: We collected coronal sulcus swabs at baseline and on days 7 and 14 post-circumcision from infants assigned to receive EIMC by Mogen Clamp (n = 15) or ShangRing (n = 15), in a randomised trial in Rakai and Kakuuto, Uganda. We used 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing and broad-coverage qPCR to characterise the infant penile microbiome and assess the effects of EIMC in both study arms.
Surgical approach to penile reconstruction for shaft skin excision from circumcision.

Purpose: Circumcision is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures. Complications are infrequent, including bleeding, though can be significant such as shaft skin excision. The aim of this study was to identify mechanism of injury and reconstructive techniques for skin excision using a full thickness skin graft (FTSG) or with the novel application of tissue expanders (TE).

Introduction And Importance: Traditional circumcisions may cause complications such as hemorrhage, infection, amputations of the penis, meatal stenosis, and urethro-cutaneous fistula. In addition to all these complications, iatrogenic hypospadias, as in our case, is a rare condition. In general, complications are mild and preventable, especially in children, but when the procedure is carried out by unskilled providers, in unsterile conditions, or with inadequate equipment and supplies, severe complications are more likely to occur.
