Circumcision (excluding the cost of hospitalization and anesthesia)

Circumcision is a surgical procedure involving partial or complete removal of the foreskin. It is performed according to medical indications in both children and adults and is considered a minor surgical intervention.

Indications

• phimosis
• paraphimosis
• recurrent inflammatory infections (balanitis, balanoposthitis)
• scarring of the foreskin
• medical and preventive indications

Procedure / duration

The procedure is performed in a medical setting under local or general anesthesia. The foreskin is partially or completely removed, followed by suturing. The procedure typically lasts 20–60 minutes.

Contraindications

• acute infections
• blood coagulation disorders
• decompensated chronic diseases
• acute inflammatory processes in the surgical area
• individual contraindications to anesthesia

Recovery / restrictions

The recovery period is on average 2–4 weeks. During this time, physical activity should be limited, medical hygiene recommendations should be followed, and follow-up visits should be attended until complete tissue healing.

Benefits

• correction of anatomical abnormalities (phimosis)
• reduced risk of infections and inflammation
• improved local hygiene
• prevention of recurrent infections
• reduced risk of scar-related complications
