Circumcision methods: Difference between revisions

All of these methods have in common that the [[foreskin]] has to be separated from the [[Glans penis|glans]] first. In case of the circumcision of a child, it is in most cases (see chart above) necessary to forcibly tear apart the [[synechia| balanopreputial membrane]], which fuses the [[foreskin]] to the [[Glans penis|glans]], either by violently retracting the [[foreskin]] or separating it by pushing a blunt instrument underneath the [[foreskin]], both of which can result in injuries and inflammations of the [[Glans penis|glans]].
