Results of Group-Circumcision of Muslim Boys in Malaysia with a New Type of Disposable Clamp

Abstract

This study evaluates the safety and results of surgery using TaraKlamp Circumcision Device^R during a group circumcision. A total of 64 circumcisions of Muslim boys were performed by Medical Assistants supervised by Medical Doctors in a hall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A new type disposable clamp was used, which was removed 4 days after the operation. No major complications occurred and the boys experienced in general mild pain postoperatively. Mostly good cosmetic results were obtained and 90% of the parents would recommend this new clamp to others. Group circumcisions with TaraKlamp Circumcision Device^R (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) are safe, although proper patient selection and adequate training in using the device are mandatory.
