Abstract:
The beginning of the circumcision was originated from the rite of the ancient Israel historically. The circumcision has performed for the purpose of penile hygiene and for the treatment of phimosis, paraphimosis, balancposthitis and so on. In the way of the circumcision the conventional circumcision was mostly used, but we used Gomco clamp and the incision was made 3mm away from the metal edge of the instrument. And the merits in the use of the instruments were as follows: 1) the short time operation, 2) safety and cosmetically satisfactory performance without need of assistant for the procedure, 3) no bleeding on operation.
