| Abstract | A prospective randomized trial of circumcision in children up to the age of 12 was conducted, comparing conventional dissection and Plastibell device circumcision. The Plastibell device is a satisfactory and efficient method of circumcision in children of the whole paediatric age group. Despite its simplicity, the use of correctly sized bells, meticulous aseptic techniques, securely tied ligatures and close postoperative follow-ups are essential to minimize the development of postoperative complications. |
