Traditional circumcision uses a scalpel with freehand cutting. Takes 30 to 45 minutes. More bleeding. Needs 10 to 15 stitches. Recovery 2 to 3 weeks. Stapler or ZSR circumcision uses a disposable device that cuts and seals simultaneously. Takes 10 to 15 minutes. Virtually bloodless. No stitches needed as the ring falls off in 7 to 10 days. Recovery 5 to 7 days.
Stapler advantages include faster procedure less pain no suture removal neater cosmetic result and lower infection risk. Who should consider circumcision. Men with phimosis or tight foreskin recurrent infections paraphimosis or personal preference.Most patients find the faster recovery worth it. Done under local anaesthesia with same-day discharge.
