<strong>Male</strong> circumcision <strong>under</strong> local anaesthesia<br />

In<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> parents<br />

The parents of an infant or child who has had a circumcision<br />

using the Mogen clamp technique should be told that it is not<br />

necessary to use a dressing and the child can be looked after<br />

in the normal way, including normal washing and the use of<br />

nappies. Healing is usually complete after about one week.<br />

Bleeding is rare because the clamp crushes the edge of the<br />

<strong>for</strong>eskin.<br />

The parents should be told to come back to the clinic if:<br />

• the child appears to be distressed or in pain;<br />

• the child has fever;<br />

• the child does not wake <strong>for</strong> feeding as per his usual<br />

pattern;<br />

• there is any separation of the skin edges;<br />

• there is any unusual swelling or bleeding;<br />

• the child has any difficulties with urination;<br />

• the parents have any other worry about healing.<br />
