ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness among disposable circumcisionsuture device and Shang Ring in treating redundant prepuce and phimosis.Methods The clinical data of 224 cases of circumcisions done by disposable circumcision suture device(n =112)and Shang Ring(n =112)were retrospective1y analyzed. Operation time,intra -operational bleeding and postoperative complications among two techniques were compared. Results Disposable circumcision suture operation and Shang ring circumcision without significant difference in the operation time and intra -operational bleeding.There result was (6.1 ±0.8)min vs (6.5 ±1.7)min and (2.0 ±0.0)mL vs (1.8 ±0.0)mL(P >0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications with incision pain rate was 21.43% vs 50.89%,infection rate was 14.29% vs 6.25%,frenum area incision edema rate was 8.04% vs 25.89%,and the postoperative hematoma and healing time was (8.0 ±1.7)d vs (14.0 ±1.2)d,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion Each of two techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages.The treatment decision making should be a detailed description to the patients,we propose that school -age children should choose Shang Ring built -in method and the others should use disposable circumcision suture device depending on the situation.
