Baby Circumcision
What is a circumcision?
Circumcisions are common for baby boys in certain parts of the world. Whether you are circumcising your baby boy for religious practice or for his general health and well-being, the London circumcision clinic is here to help you through the process.

Infant and newborn circumcision:
Newborn usually refers to a baby from birth to about 2 months of age. Infants can be considered children anywhere from birth to 1 year old. Baby can be used to refer to any child from birth to age 4 years old, thus encompassing newborns, infants, and toddlers.
Baby circumcision Procedure
Circumcision methods for babies: How circumcision is performed?
The most common and standard surgical technique for carrying out a circumcision on a baby is using the Plastibell (™) Circumcision Device. This is a clear plastic ring that is used for the procedure during a short 10 minute surgery, to remove the foreskin. This technique is well proven, safest and reliable over many years unlike other novice experimental technique.
Many people misunderstands that this is not compliant with religious practice and adequate skin is not always taken. This technique is similar to the traditional “cutting and stitching”, but more comfortable and painless way of circumcision using a ring and string to cut the skin like umbilical cord (belly button) without having the need to stitch and other associated complications. Extra skin is cut with string and ring as shown below.
Plastibel ring technique:
The plastic ring usually falls off after the surgical procedure within 3-7 days. Parents are usually advised to monitor the progress of their baby, and keep the area clean.
Procedure is performed using sterile single-use disposable instruments. Plastibel ring is the best for the babies in experienced hand. Some people use other devices such as Circumplast, which has not been used long enough and widely to ensure its safety.
