No-scalpel circumcision

No-scalpel circumcision is a modern, minimally invasive technique used to treat phimosis and other foreskin-related conditions. At Andrología Valencia, we perform this procedure under local anesthesia, allowing for a quick, painless intervention with excellent aesthetic results.

¿What is circumcision?

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the partial or total removal of the foreskin, the skin that covers the glans of the penis. This intervention is performed to treat phimosis, recurrent infections, hygiene issues, or for personal or cultural reasons.

Traditionally, circumcision was performed with a scalpel and sutures, which meant a longer recovery time and more visible scarring. Today, modern techniques such as no-scalpel circumcision allow the procedure to be carried out in a quick, safe, and virtually painless way, with less bleeding, minimal scarring, and a much shorter recovery period.

Circumcision helps improve comfort, hygiene, and sexual health by preventing discomfort, pain, or infections associated with a tight foreskin. In adults with phimosis, it is the most effective and definitive solution to restore mobility and proper function of the penis.

¿What is no-scalpel circumcision and what are its advantages?

Stapleless (no-scalpel) circumcision is a modern surgical technique used to treat phimosis and other foreskin-related conditions. It does not require cuts with a scalpel or traditional sutures. Instead, it is performed using an automatic surgical stapling device that cuts and seals the skin at the same time. This allows for a quick, safe, and precise procedure, with a lower risk of bleeding and complications.

It is carried out under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure, and it is usually done on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospital admission.
