Morgan clamp for newborn male circumcision

Mogen clamp is commonly used for Jewish circumcision (brit milah). Other methods for baby circumcision are Gomco clamp circumcision and forceps guided circumcision. In my experience, these methods are not superior to Circumplast or Plastibell circumcision in newborn circumcision.

The complications specific to Mogen clamp circumcision include injury to the glans if it is not below the inferior edge of the clamp, and an asymmetric incomplete circumcision due to malpositioning of the clamp (typically more redundancy ventrally).

Adult feedback after Glue Circumcision

Dear Dr Khan and team

It is now 3 1/2 months since I attended the thorn hill clinic for my circumcision.

Everything has completely healed and I am very pleased and completely satisfied with the outcome. As is my girlfriend/partner.

When I got home on the day of the operation I took paracetamol as a precaution as the anaesthetic wore off. but that was the only time, I didn’t need it again. I went back to work on the Monday 15th October 2018.

The bandages came off after 3 days, the swelling had almost pushed them off by that point any way. I used the fuicuden cream as instructed but there was no infection so the antibiotic prescription didn’t get used.  Within 2 weeks the swelling had mostly gone down and by week 3 the stitches were gone.

I felt really looked after by you and your colleagues at the clinic, before, during and after the operation.

All in all a good experience (under the circumstance!!) I wish I had booked in with you for a circumcision years ago.

Kind regards

AW
