Every circumcision comes with a risk of bleeding or infection. However, the Plastibell technique does carry a lower risk of bleeding as compared to other types of circumcision.

The Pollock Technique™ and Shang Ring technique for circumcision are virtually painless methods under long-acting local anesthetic. The procedure takes less than ten minutes for adults and approximately 60 seconds for newborns.
In this procedure, “the foreskin is cut lengthwise through the stretched tissue to allow space in order to insert the device. The bell of the Gomco clamp is placed over the glans, and the foreskin is pulled over the bell. The base of the Gomco clamp is placed over the bell, and the Gomco clamp's arm is fitted.
Plastibell circumcision is safe, quick, easily manageable, and acceptable technique for parents. Complications are low in neonates and infants than older age group.
The Plastibell has the advantage of continuing hemostasis after the procedure is over, as the suture remains in place for a few days. The disadvantage is that there is a foreign body at the site, which could become dislodged or infected.
We judged that 60% of the infants had pain or discomfort associated with the procedure that was excessive.
There are several techniques for performing circumcision; the choice of which technique is used depends upon the physician's preference and experience. The three major methods of circumcision are the Gomco clamp, the Plastibell device, and the Mogen clamp.
The three most common techniques for newborn male circumcision utilize the Mogen clamp, the Gomco clamp, or the Plastibell device. Complications are uncommon and can include bleeding, injury to the penis, adhesions, excessive skin removal, phimosis, and meatal stenosis.
This pain often gets better in 3 or 4 days. But it may last for up to 2 weeks. Even though your baby's penis will likely start to feel better after 3 or 4 days, it may look worse. The penis often starts to look like it's getting better after about 7 to 10 days.
Since 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has followed a policy statement that argues the medical benefits outweigh the risks of circumcision. However, it stops short of being a recommendation of the procedure. "There's no right or wrong answer," says Dr.
With a low & tight circumcision, the entire foreskin – inner as well as outer part – is completely removed and the shaft skin is sutured directly behind the glans (low ).
Laser circumcision is one of the most advanced circumcision procedures. During the procedure, the surgeon cuts off the foreskin using a high-energy laser beam. Since a laser is used to create the incision, there is little to no bleeding, and the wound edges are clean.
Circumcision can be done at any age. Traditionally, the most common time to do it is soon after your baby is born, or within the first month of life. Because the process is painful, a local anesthetic is used to numb the area and the surgery is performed while the baby is still awake.

Most babies recover quickly from a circumcision. At first, the incision (cut) will be red and the glans (head of the penis) will look like it has been scraped.
Neonatal male circumcision is a painful skin-breaking procedure that may affect infant physiological and behavioral stress responses as well as mother-infant interaction. Due to the plasticity of the developing nociceptive system, neonatal pain might carry long-term consequences on adult behavior.
From our experience, we have seen the Plastibell method work best when a child is circumcised between the ages of one and four months old. This is the age that has been most comfortable for mother and child both during the operation and in the recovery period. The IMC has recommended this age for over a decade.
The overall complication rate of the procedure ranges between 0.19% and 3.1% [12]; however, in a few studies, it was extremely high. Upon a retrospective study, Linus reported 20.2% complication in infants [12].
