Preoperative Preparation and Postoperative Care for Staple Circumcision

What is Staple Circumcision?


Staple Circumcision refers to the surgical removal of excess foreskin covering the penis, thereby exposing the glans penis. It is an effective treatment method for phimosis, excessive foreskin, and the prevention of associated complications. It is a minor surgical procedure, generally lasting around 10 to 30 minutes, and typically does not require hospitalization. The surgery carries minimal risk. The goal of the procedure is to fully expose the glans penis to prevent infection due to hidden areas.


The main types of circumcision surgery include traditional surgery, ring surgery, and disposable circumcision stapler surgery. Current evidence suggests that disposable circumcision stapler surgery has the best outcomes. The advantages of this method are reduced surgery time, less bleeding during the procedure, and shortened recovery time for the patient.

Preoperative Preparation for Staple Circumcision


  • Since rest for three to four days is generally required after staple circumcision, with limited physical activity for approximately half a month, it is advisable to schedule the surgery accordingly.

  • Circumcision is performed under local anesthesia. After the anesthetic effects subside, some patients may experience noticeable pain. It is recommended to prepare a small amount of anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, measures to reduce swelling, and promote wound healing or control erections.

  • Alleviate tension: Due to potential discomfort from the wound post-surgery, some patients and their families may worry about its impact on future sexual function. Generally speaking, circumcision does not affect normal sexual function.

  • The night before the surgery, it is recommended for the patient to bathe at home, especially cleaning the surgical site thoroughly. On the day of the surgery, genital hair in the penile and scrotal areas should be shaved and necessary skin cleansing should be performed.

  • On the day of the surgery, wear loose clothing to minimize friction on the wound and glans penis after the procedure.

Postoperative Care for Staple Circumcision


  • Rest for 30 minutes outside the operating room and leave only after confirming there is no bleeding and urination is normal.

  • Apply a pressure bandage to the incision site after surgery to prevent swelling and bleeding.

  • If there is difficulty in urination or inability to urinate, and the glans penis turns dark blue, please have the surgeon adjust the tightness of the elastic bandage.

  • A small amount of oozing blood from the bandaged gauze, subcutaneous bruising, and mild swelling are normal phenomena.

  • If experiencing significant bleeding, dripping blood, or swelling and deformation of the penis with pain, return to the hospital promptly for treatment.

  • Mild pain within 1-2 hours after the anesthesia wears off is generally tolerable. Morning and involuntary erections may cause wound pain, hence avoid sexual stimulation or suppress erections as much as possible.

  • Postoperative bed rest, maintaining local hygiene, and anti-inflammatory care are important. Avoid strenuous activities to prevent the loosening of gauze or bandages, which can lead to hematoma and bleeding. If severe secondary hematoma and bleeding occur, return to the hospital promptly for treatment.

  • Keep the incision dry and clean for three days after surgery. After three days, gauze and elastic bandages can be removed. Rebandaging and follow-up are generally unnecessary unless otherwise instructed.

  • Refrain from sexual activities, swimming, playing sports, running, and other strenuous exercises for one month after surgery.

  • Most of the sutured titanium staples will fall off within a month. Cleaning them while showering can help with detachment.

  • A light and nutritious diet is recommended postoperatively. Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and other irritants. Supplement with high protein to promote wound healing.
