The circumcision stapler is a medical device specially used for circumcision surgery for patients with excessive foreskin or phimosis. It is a new type of surgical instrument. Its principle is to squeeze and cut the excessive foreskin through the stapler, and quickly suture the inner and outer plates of the foreskin to complete the circumcision surgery.
structure and composition of the foreskin stapler
The foreskin stapler is mainly composed of the following parts:
Outer ring blade: composed of two half rings, used to cut the foreskin.
Inner ring: cooperates with the outer ring to fix the foreskin position.
Fasteners: used to fix and adjust the position and tightness of the stapler.
Silicone rubber gasket: provides buffering and sealing effects to protect the surgical site.
In addition, some foreskin staplers are also equipped with a soft ruler to measure the diameter of the glans in order to select the appropriate stapler model.
Circumcision is mainly suitable for people with excessive foreskin or phimosis. Its benefits include:
1. Prevention of infection: Excessive foreskin is easy to hide smegma, increasing the risk of infection, such as balanitis, balanitis, etc. After circumcision, the accumulation of smegma is reduced, and the risk of related infections is reduced.
2. Reduce the risk of penile cancer: Long-term accumulation of smegma and moist environment in the foreskin are conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and viruses, which may increase the risk of penile cancer. Circumcision can remove this potential carcinogenic factor.
3. Improve personal hygiene: After circumcision, it is easier to clean the penis, which helps to maintain genital hygiene.
4. Improve the quality of sexual life: Excessive foreskin may cause pain, discomfort or reduce sexual sensation during sex. After circumcision, the glans is exposed and the sensitivity may change, which helps to improve the comfort and satisfaction of sexual life.
5. Reduce sexually transmitted diseases: Bacteria and viruses in the foreskin may be transmitted to partners during sex, causing infection. Circumcision can reduce the possibility of cross-infection.
However, circumcision also has certain disadvantages, such as postoperative pain, bleeding and infection risks, as well as erectile pain and penile curvature that may be caused by improper foreskin removal. Therefore, whether to choose circumcision needs to be considered comprehensively according to personal circumstances, including the actual situation of the foreskin, personal health needs, and the doctor's advice.
How much does circumcision cost?
The cost of circumcision varies depending on many factors, including surgical method, anesthesia method, hospital size, regional economic development level, etc. Generally speaking, the cost of circumcision ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan.
Specifically, the cost of traditional manual incision and suturing is relatively low, while the cost of surgical methods using auxiliary equipment such as circumcision devices and foreskin staplers is relatively high. In addition, the cost of general anesthesia is usually higher than that of local anesthesia.
The specific cost also needs to be determined based on factors such as the patient's condition and the hospital's charging standards. Therefore, when choosing a hospital and surgical method, patients should fully understand the relevant cost information and weigh the pros and cons to make a decision.
Before making a decision, patients should consult professional doctors, understand the risks and benefits of surgery, and choose a regular medical institution for surgery.
