Dr. Wong is experienced in performing vasectomies and circumcision under local anaesthetics (using nerve block) as an office procedure.
According to our office practice software data since 2015, he has performed over 5000 vasectomies and over 1300 circumcisions for various age groups.
It is important for him to personally assess your individual anatomy (size, shape, amount of loose skin) to decide the best method for the patient, as well as taking into account your religious preference, ethnic origin and customise the method most suitable for you.
There are a number of techniques which can influence surgery time, some techniques are suited for certain age groups and also to incorporate devices such as circumcision staplers.
He has a special interest in helping adult men who suffer from medical conditions such as Lichen Sclerosus (a skin condition that can affect the foreskin).
Indications:
As an adult, you can get circumcision surgery at any age. The most common reasons for circumcision include:
- Constricted and painful foreskin, unable to be retracted back
- Recurrent balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin over the glans penis)
- Paraphimosis or painful foreskin that gets stuck in retracted position
- Cultural or religious reasons
- Hygiene reasons
Circumcision for younger and teenage boys, parent/s must be present to hear the information, discuss their concerns and give informed consent.
As with all surgical procedures, there are risks associated with surgery such as pain, bruising (from local anaesthestic injections and the wound from sutures), infection, wound breakdown. Hence it is important that these risks are discussed with parents prior to procedure.
Circumcision has not convincingly shown to affect fertility, nor will circumcision enhance or detract from sexual pleasure for men or their partners.
Contrainindications:
- Congenital abnormalities of the penis
- Other anomalies of the penis
- Bleeding disorders, and any other conditions affecting healing process.
After the surgery, it is important to have realistic expectation of some swelling, discomfort or pain, reduced mobility and time off work. In general, adult circumcision healing time may take a few weeks.
