Prefilled Humidifier

Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) use the patient’s own humidity and moisture from exhalation, in order to humidify anesthetic gases during inhalation. As soon as a patient is intubated, the upper airway is bypassed, which leads in a loss of humidification of inhaled air. Dry air can have harmful effects for the patient, therefore to

Are There Any Benefits of Circumcision in Babies? | London Children’s Surgery

Circumcision is rarely performed on babies in the UK but some parents do choose to have the procedure for religious or cultural reasons. One of the common questions that parents have about circumcision in babies if whether there are any medical benefits associated with the procedure. We wouldn’t recommend baby circumcision for medical reasons but there is some evidence that it can have some benefits when children grow up.

What is Baby Circumcision?

Circumcision is a procedure to remove the foreskin that covers the end of the penis. The modern circumcision procedure doesn’t usually involve any cutting when it is performed in babies. Instead, a specially designed device is fitted to cut off the blood supply to the foreskin. We use a plastic ring called the Plastibell for this procedure. Once the blood supply has been cut off, the tissue will be starved of oxygen. The cells in the foreskin will die and it will drop off in about 10 to 12 days.

Medical Benefits of Baby Circumcision

Circumcision removes the foreskin so that the head of the penis remains exposed at all times. The main medical benefit of this is that it can make it easier to keep the penis clean. Some boys and men can find it difficult to clean under the foreskin, which can enable bacteria to build up and cause infections. Boys who have been circumcised have a lower risk of infections such as balanitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, these infections are relatively rare even without circumcision. Only about 1% of uncircumcised boys will develop a UTI during their first year.

Use of Skin Grafts for the Correction of a Circumcision Complication by Luiz G Freitas Filho in SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers

Background: Circumcision is largely performed and is considered to be technically simple and safe but it may occasionally lead to important complications.

Aim: To report the case of a patient who underwent a circumcision and presented a complication that obliged the use of skin grafts to recover the penis.

Materials and Methods: A 12-year old boy with neurogenic bladder underwent a circumcision using Plastibell device and presented a fasciitis of the lower abdomen and perineum with necrosis of the skin of the penis. He was submitted to a new surgical intervention where skin grafts from the abdomen were used to cover the body of the penis

Result: The cosmetic aspect of the penis was considered adequate at six months after the surgical procedure.

Conclusion: The use of skin graft could be a good and reliable alternative for different conditions resulting in buried penis.
