The adverse events (AEs) and satisfaction were recorded for both groups, and ring-removal time and percentage of delayed removals were recorded for the SR group. Finally, complete follow-up data were collected for 76.1% of patients (SR: n = 306; DS: n = 76). The average ring-removal time for the SR group was 17.62 ± 6.30 days. The operation time (P 〈 0.001), pain scores during the procedure (P 〈 0.001) and at 24 h postoperatively (P 〈 0.001), bleeding (P = 0.001), infection (P = 0.034), and satisfaction with penile appearance (P 〈 0.001) in the SR group were superior to those in the DS group. After two postoperative weeks, the percentage of patients with edema in the SR group (P = 0.029) was higher but no differences were found at 4 weeks (P = 0, 185) between the two groups. In conclusions, the no-flip SR method was found to be superior to the DS method for its short operation time (〈5 min), involving less pain, bleeding, infection, and resulting in a satisfactory appearance. However, the time for recovery from edema took longer, and patients may wear device for 2-3 weeks after the procedure.展开更多

We conducted a prospective randomized trial to assess the benefits of a new disposable circumcision suture device (DCSD). A total of 942 patients were equally divided into three groups (conventional circumcision, Shang ring and disposable suture device group). Patients in the DCSD group were anesthetized with compound 5% lidocaine cream, the others with a 2% lidocaine penile block. Operation time, intra-operative blood loss, incision healing time, intra-operative and post-operative pain, the penile appearance and overall satisfaction degree were measured. Operation time and intra-operative blood loss were significantly lower in the Shang ring and suture device groups compared to the conventional group (P 〈 0.001). Intra-operative pain was less in the suture device group compared With the other two groups (P 〈 0.001); whereas post-operative pain was higher in the conventional group compared to the other two groups (P 〈 0.001). Patients in the suture device (80.57%) and Shang ring (73,57%) groups were more satisfied with penile appearances compared with the conventional circumcision group (20.06%, P 〈 0.05). Patients in suture device group also healed markedly faster than the conventional group (P 〈 0.01). The overall satisfaction rate was better in the suture device group (78.66%) compared with the conventional (47.13%) and Shang ring (50.00%) groups (P 〈 0.05). The combination of DCSD and lidocaine cream resulted in shorter operation and incision healing times, reduced intra-operative and post-operative pain and improved patient satisfaction with the cosmetic appearances.展开更多
