ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To introduce the advantages of the circumcision with a scalpel by inserting a piece of gauze between the inner prepuce and superficial fascia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From November 2000 to March 2006, 2 100 patients with redundant prepuce, aged 6-78 years, averaging 23, were circumcised with a scalpel by inserting a piece of gauze between the inner prepuce and superficial fascia. Of all the cases, 1 799 (85.7%) were classified as Type I, 237 (11.3%) as Type II and 64 (3.0%) as Type III redundant prepuce. The mean operation time was 20 minutes (15-35 min).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incisions were all healed in one stage, with good appearance, no infection and no disruption. Bleeding occurred in 12 cases 648 hours after the operation and delayed bleeding in 3 cases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The circumcision with a scalpel by inserting a piece of gauze between the inner prepuce and superficial fascia, with easier performance, fewer complications and less bleeding, and capable of preserving more and continuous superficial fascia and giving a better appearance, well deserves to be popularized in clinical practice.</p>
