Abstract


Background: Plastibell technique is a well-proven paediatric method of circumcision with respect to the results and complications. Although, literatures abound on its wide acceptability, there are few studies on procedure and complications of plastibell circumcision. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cases of circumcision by Plastibell device in tertiary care centre.

Methods: This is a prospective study of 30 male children less than 10 years who underwent Plastibell circumcision in the Department of Surgery at L G HOSPITAL AHMEDABAD during MAY 2017 to January 2019

Results: Out of the total 30 cases, the successful rate of Plastibell circumcision without any complication was recorded in 25 (83.33%) cases while remaining 5(16.66%) cases developed minor complications

Conclusions:. The classical plastibell circumcision has good safety profile with few easily correctable early complications as well as less operative time and less bleeding.
