How is the Korean style circumcision?

Patient's question:

My child is 10 years old and often has a retracted penis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was due to phimosis and needed surgery. Now the foreskin opening is tight! It has become red, swollen, and itchy. Currently, everything is still normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the method for the Korean circumcising surgery is about to officially begin. Lift the foreskin and align the laser device to scan it. At this point, the foreskin is burned with high temperature, it cracks, and the room is filled with a burnt smell. The foreskin is then cut off. Note that it is not completely cut off, but about 0.3-0.5 centimeters (from the corona) are left, because if it is completely cut, it may hinder erection. Use scissors to cut along the probe groove to separate the inner and outer layers of the foreskin, and the inner layer should also be cut to about 0.5 cm away from the edge of the corona. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Wish you health!
