| description | Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of thermocautery-assisted circumcision and conventional surgical circumcision.
Methods: In our study, the data of patients who underwent conventional surgical circumcision (group 1) or thermocautery-assisted circumcision (group 2) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients between the ages of 2 months and 18 years were included in the study, and all circumcisions were performed with sedation and penile dorsal nerve block. Only patients who underwent circumcision were included in the study; patient age, operation time, and perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded.
Results: Of the 1425 patients included in the study, 737 were in group 1 and 688 were in group 2. The mean ages of the 2 groups were found to be similar. The mean operation time for patients in group 1 was 13.63 ± 0.08 minutes, while it was 5.86 ± 0.05 minutes for patients in group 2 (P < .0001). No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of early and late complications (P=.11).
Conclusion: Thermocautery-assisted circumcision is a practical circumcision method that can be safely applied with low complication rates and short operation times.
