ABSTRACT
<p><b>Objective</b>To investigate the clinical effects of circumcision by surgical plane positioning with a disposable circumcision suture device in the treatment of phimosis and redundant prepuce.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From September 2016 to June 2017, we treated 250 patients with phimosis or redundant prepuce, 127 by conventional circumcision (the control group) and the other 123 by surgical plane positioning with a disposable circumcision suture device (the observation group). We compared the operation time, intra-operative bleeding, preputial frenulum alignment, postoperative ecchymosis, and postoperative penile appearance between the two groups of patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the controls, the patients in the observation group showed significantly longer operation time ([4.48 ± 1.18] vs [7.17 ± 1.42] min, P<0.05), lower rates of intra-operative frenulum bleeding (15.0% [19/127] vs 4.1% [5/123], P<0.05) and frenulum misalignment (26.8% [34/127] vs 0.8% [1/123], P<0.05), higher incidence of postoperative ecchymosis (41.7% [53/127] vs 21.1% [26/123], P<0.05), and higher satisfaction of the patients with the postoperative penile appearance (92.9% [18/127] vs 98.4% [121/123], P<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the control and observation groups in intra-operative non-frenulum bleeding (4.7% [6/127] vs 1.6% [2/123], P = 0.164).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Circumcision by surgical plane positioning with a disposable circumcision suture device can effectively avoid preputial frenulum misalignment, reduce intra-operative bleeding, and improve postoperative penile appearance.</p>
