The sleeve of skin as well as mucosal tissue that naturally covers the tip of the penis is surgically removed and this procedure is called circumcision. The foreskin, a double layer of skin, is sometimes referred to as the prepuce. When erect, the foreskin offers enough loose skin for the penis to occupy. The skin sheath is moveable, which helps reduce friction and the need for artificial lubricants. It also allows the glans and the skin to naturally stimulate each other during intercourse. Circumcision surgery in Kolkata can now be performed using laser, thanks to advances in medical technology. Furthermore, laser circumcision differs from the traditional circumcision process, which involves the use of scalpel or medical scissors.
Laser circumcision is a less invasive technique with no bleeding, which allows for quicker and easier healing. The treatment takes 20 minutes and can be done under local, general, or spinal anaesthesia. The patient is taken for pre-surgery medical examinations and anaesthesia is given as soon as they arrive at the hospital. If local anaesthetic is used, the patient may be discharged on the same day of the procedure. In such instances, the doctor recommends that the patient spend 3-5 hours in the hospital following the treatment. After that, the patient can easily return home. The laser cuts through the foreskin during laser circumcision. As a result, the patient does not experience any bleeding or pain during the procedure.
Laser circumcision in Kolkata is also suggested as a medical need in illnesses such as phimosis, paraphimosis and balanitis.
With the minimally invasive and pain-free laser process, circumcision can be performed on both older children and adult males. The benefits of laser circumcision are listed below.
