Laser Circumcision Procedure Cost in India

Treatment of Phimosis and Balanitis With Laser Circumcision at Yashoda Hospital

Phimosis (a tight foreskin) can cause balanitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) by trapping moisture and increasing the risk of infection, leading to symptoms like redness, pain, and discharge. Laser circumcision is a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a high-energy laser beam to remove the foreskin from the penis. It is presented as an advanced alternative to traditional circumcision methods that use a scalpel. During the procedure, a urologist or general surgeon performs the laser circumcision by giving local or regional anesthesia, preparing the tissue, using forceps to gently pull and stretch the foreskin, and using a focused high-energy laser. The surgeon then precisely cuts away the foreskin and simultaneously cauterizes and seals blood vessels, which minimizes the bleeding. At last, a sterile bandage is applied to protect the surgical site during the initial recovery phase. Laser circumcision can be performed for several other medical conditions, like phimosis, paraphimosis, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and penile cancer. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, Neodymium:yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet (Nd: YAG) laser, and Holmium:yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet (Holmium: YAG) laser are common laser types for circumcision.

Yashoda Hospitals is a good choice for laser circumcision due to its experienced urologists and urology department, advanced technology like lasers, personalized care, high success rates (97%), and focus on comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care for a safe and quick recovery.

Who needs laser circumcision?

• Laser circumcision is often recommended for individuals who experience certain medical conditions that are related to the foreskin or for those who want a procedure with less pain and faster recovery. It is a modern, minimally invasive technique that uses a high-energy laser to remove the foreskin, thus offering benefits over traditional methods.
• A urologist recommends laser circumcision as part of the treatment for medical issues like phimosis, where the foreskin becomes too tight over the head of the penis and can cause discomfort, pain, and hygiene problems.
  Paraphimosis is a medical emergency when the foreskin gets trapped behind the glans and cannot return to its original position. This causes restriction to blood flow and causes swelling.
• Balantis is a recurrent infection or inflammation of the glans penis, caused by poor hygiene, bacterial, or fungal infections.
• Posthitis is inflammation of the foreskin, especially when the condition is chronic and is associated with balantis, and is then called as balanoposthitis.
• The patient may choose laser circumcision for non-medical reasons like personal preferences, improved hygiene, and preventive health.

Types of laser circumcision methods

Laser circumcision is not a single technique, but the method of performing the procedure using a laser instead of a traditional scalpel. While the basic process remains the same, different types of lasers can be used they are :

• Carbon dioxide laser (CO2) laser is a technique that makes accurate incisions, as its high-energy beam vaporizes the tissue, and cauterizes the small blood vessels at the same time, resulting in less blood loss and less tissue damage in comparison to traditional surgery.
• Holmium: yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Holmium: YAG) laser is a cost-effective option that reduces the operative time and causes less blood loss in comparison to traditional methods.
• Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd: YAG) laser is mostly similar to other laser types; the Nd: YAG laser creates a dry and accurate incision with less amount of tissue being damaged.
