- Authors
Desalu, Ibironke; Asiyanbi, Kolawole Gabriel
- Abstract
Male circumcision is the commonest surgical procedure performed worldwide. It is mostly performed in the neonatal and infantile period as a daycase procedure. Analgesia is essential as it prevents development of long term deleterious effects. Non-pharmacological methods of analgesia mainly provide comfort. Adequate analgesia is provided by regional techniques or general anaesthesia. Post-circumcision bleeding is the most common complication encountered.
