==Advantages==
The [[glans ]] is protected during the procedure by the ring. Hemostasis (control of bleeding) is effective due to the ligature tie. Cosmetically, a predictable result is obtained due to the straight line of the ligature that causes the wound. It is a quick procedure for the physician to perform—once mastered.
No bandage is required, allowing easy monitoring for [[infection]].
Healing occurs while the edges of the prepuce are secured in the ring, making skin bridges (where the foreskin's end heals to the glans' corona) unlikely.
Cosmetically, there will be little to no [[circumcision scar]], though as usual with any circumcision, there will be a color change where the (formerly) inner and outer layers of [[foreskin meet]] are healed together.
