No Needle local Anesthesia
Anesthesia can be accomplished by administering a dorsal penile nerve block, with or without a ring block.
Dr. Shu uses Madjet device to perform the initial no needle anesthesia. A spray applicator (MadaJet®) delivers a stream of anesthetic so fine that it penetrates the skin and diffuses to a depth of about 3/16 of an inch, enough to anesthetize skin and the underneath tissue. Then additional anesthetic is injected with needle through the numbed spots. The introduction of no-scalpel vasectomy has successfully allayed many men’s fears with regard to needle.
Surgical Techniques for Adult Circumcision:
There are two common surgical techniques used for adult circumcision in the US. The dorsal slit technique is recommended when circumcision is indicated for phimosis or paraphimosis. The sleeve resection is the most common circumcision technique used, and it is adaptable for use in both children and adults.
