Men Expect a Tight Cut and a Bare Glans

My circumcision style is a result of a compromise. Considering how much trouble I had with it at one point, it almost feels like the story of the ugly duckling that turns out to be a swan at the end.

Key Differences between ZSR I & II Generation Staplers

The new version of the ZSR Stapler has some openings on the side which helps with one of the major problems that the older device had to be placed blindly.

Thus the exact placement of the cut for 'style' can now be adjusted under direct observation.

Also there is better option to keep the frenulum is the patient so wishes.

The ZSR Stapler is becoming a cheap and reliable way to perform circumcisions by basically any medical personnel as it does not require the same surgical skills as performing a free hand circumcision and get good results.

Just because someone sells you a new invention for a DIY circumcision it does not mean you should try it on yourself.

Don't Panic: Anatomical Variations

People sometimes panic that their circumcision is somehow 'misaligned' when the perineal raphe (that line on the underside of your penis that continues over and beyond your scrotum) is not exactly in the middle after the operation.

It is good to have a 'before' picture to compare it to, the raphe tends to wind all over the place and it is rarely centered perfectly around the foreskin section of the skin.

So, if after your circumcision your raphe is not in the middle it does not mean it has been shifted during the operation, it might just be where it always has been. If in doubt try to compare it to a 'before' picture.

Does Medical Circumcision Hurt?

The first thing every single guy facing circumcision asks is how much it is going to hurt. Most people in developed countries get a circumcision in a medical setting, and with modern medicine really there should not be any pain.

This post is going to be different from my usually cheerful dismissal of concerns about circumcision pain, and mockery of grown men who claim that they desperately want a circumcised penis but they are too cowardly to go under the knife.

I do think that concerns about circumcision pain are blown out of proportion on the Internet, often for the purpose to serve as propaganda against circumcision. But that is no excuse not to admit that sometimes shit does happen, and people experience far more discomfort than what they have bargained for.

This post may not make the best bed time story if you are going under the knife in the near future.

Just a warning, some parts of this post may be very disturbing, you may end up wishing you haven't read it.

I don't understand how can people get an M.D. degree when they are incapable of performing a circumcision. Even in some places in Africa an illiterate circumciser is put to death on the spot if he maims the initiate during the procedure.
One would expect higher standards from the medical profession in a first world country, but apparently being more competent than an illiterate bush surgeon is too much to ask.
