ABSTRACT
This paper was aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of adult male circumcision using the Shang Ring™ (SR) with the no-flip technique compared with Dorsal Slit (DS) surgical method. A single-centered, prospective study was conducted at the West China Hospital, where patients were circumcised using the no-flip SR (n = 408) or the DS (n = 94) procedure. The adverse events (AEs) and satisfaction were recorded for both groups, and ring-removal time and percentage of delayed removals were recorded for the SR group. Finally, complete follow-up data were collected for 76.1% of patients (SR: n = 306; DS: n = 76). The average ring-removal time for the SR group was 17.62 ± 6.30 days. The operation time (P < 0.001), pain scores during the procedure (P < 0.001) and at 24 h postoperatively (P < 0.001), bleeding (P = 0.001), infection (P = 0.034), and satisfaction with penile appearance (P < 0.001) in the SR group were superior to those in the DS group. After two postoperative weeks, the percentage of patients with edema in the SR group (P = 0.029) was higher but no differences were found at 4 weeks (P = 0.185) between the two groups. In conclusions, the no-flip SR method was found to be superior to the DS method for its short operation time (<5 min), involving less pain, bleeding, infection, and resulting in a satisfactory appearance. However, the time for recovery from edema took longer, and patients may wear device for 2-3 weeks after the procedure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the curative effect and safety of Shang ring circumcision and conventional circumcision .Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 329 adult patients who were admitted into our hospital from January 2013 to May 2015, including 205 cases of Shang ring circumcision and 124 cases of conventional circumcision .The operation time , intraoperative and postoperative VAS pain scores , intraoperative bleeding , wound healing time , complications , and degree of penile appearances and overall satisfaction between the two groups were compared .Results Compared with conventional circumcision , Shang ring circumcision was associated with shorter oper-ative time, less intraoperative blood loss , lower intraoperative and postoperative VAS pain scores , lower adverse event rate , higher penile ap-pearances and overall satisfaction , and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Shang ring circumcision may be a safer and more effective choice in comparison with conventional circumcision for male patients , as it can shorten the time of operation and save the cost of health care .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>Objective</b>To compare the clinical efficiency of Shang Ring with that of the disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD) in the treatment of phimosis or redundant prepuce.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2013 to March 2015, we treated 320 patients with phimosis or redundant prepuce using Shang Ring (n=158) or DCSD (n=162). We compared the operation time, intra-operative blood loss, incision healing time, postoperative complications, postoperative satisfaction, and treatment cost between the two groups of patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Comparison between the Shang Ring and DCSD groups showed that the operation time was (5.6±1.3) vs (5.4±1.2) min, intra-operative blood loss (1.2±0.8) vs (1.3±0.9) ml, postoperative delayed hemorrhage 3.16% (5/158) vs 4.32% (7/162), incision healing time (16.1±7.2) vs (7.5±2.3) d, wound infection 15.82% (25/158) vs 7.41% (12/162), 1-month postoperative incision edema 29.11% (46/158) vs 9.26% (15/162), overall postoperative satisfaction rate 63.92% (101/158) vs 90.12% (146/162), and treatment cost (1121.2±15.6) vs (2142.6±10.8) RMB ¥. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the latter five parameters (P<0.05 ), but not in the first three (P>0.05 ).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The DSCD has an obvious superiority over Shang Ring for its relatively lower complication rate, shorter incision healing time, and better cosmetic appearance.</p>

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.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy and complications of Chinese Shang Ring circumcision with conventional circumcisiom Methods Clinical data of 479 cases of Chinese Shang Ring circumcision and 354 cases of conventional circumcision with complete follow-up were analyzed.Comparisons were made between the two groups on operation time,pain score,blood loss,postoperative complications,postoperative satisfaction with penile appearance,wound healing time and treatment costs. Results There was no statistical difference in age and foreskin status between the two groups (P＞0.05).For the Shang Ring group,the operation time was(5±1)rain,blood loss was (0.98±1.14)ml,pain score during operation was 0.25±0.54,24-hour pain score after operation was 1.63±0.87,the postoperative complication rate was 6.89% (33/479),wound healing time was (20±5)d,the satisfaction rate of appearance was 99.79% (478/479),and treatment cost was (871±52) yuan.For the conventional group,the operation time was (27±5) min,blood loss was (8.30±3.60)ml,pain score during operation was 3.29±1.57,24-hour pain score after operation was 5.56±1.42,the postoperative complication rate was 13.28%(47/354),wound healing time was (13±2)d,satisfaction rate of appearance was 92.37% (327/354),and treatment cost was (554±46) yuan.Compared with the conventional group,the Shang Ring group had a shorter operation time,less blood loss,less pain score,higher appearance satisfaction rate and a lower complication rate (P＜0.05).But wound healing time was longer and treatment cost was higher in the Shang Ring group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Chinese Shang Ring circumcision is simpler and an improved approach over conventional circumeision with shorter operative time,less blood loss,less pain,relatively lower complication rate and higher satisfaction and acceptability.
