What is circumcision?
Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that removes the foreskin covering the tip of the penis.
It is performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure, meaning you remain awake and comfortable and can return home the same day.
At Pitshanger Clinic, our experienced consultant urologists ensure minimal discomfort, excellent cosmetic results, and clear aftercare guidance for smooth, safe healing.
Circumcision may be recommended for:
- Tight foreskin (phimosis) or painful retraction
