Circumcision method

As I was sedated, I don't recall the method that was used to circumcise me. I know that there are devices that are meant to make this surgery quicker and more precise (Gomco clamp etc.), some that are kinds of rings that crush the foreskin until it drops from lack of blood supply (Plastibel, Sheng ring…), and even some "staplers" that seem to largely automate the procedure.

I'm wondering, for those of you who saw the procedure (or discussed it with the surgeon) - what method was used on you? Any comments?

I was cut at 14 at home with dorsal slit. I have seen all the procedure and felt the pain.

I was done dorsal slit and forceps guided. Basic low style.

I was sedated too, circumcised at 7, dorsal slit method (no use of devices in France in 60-70).

@FrenchPatient @DocScrubs How do you identify the method, as you were asleep?

I'm not sure, of course. What I know is that there was no use of any device.

I'd like to know if a detailed examination of the scare can help to identify the exact method,

I was also sedated for the procedure, so I wasn't particularly aware of my surroundings and couldn't see what was going on. When I was already in the recovery room, I was told that I had a circumcision, but I didn’t fully understand what it was until the bandages were removed several days later. Decades later, when looking for something in the basement of my parents' house, I discovered a box full of my old medical records, including notes from the urologist where he wrote that he used a sleeve resection technique to excise the prepuce.

I can only say what my parents and medical records say. I was circumcised using the traditional method. Scalpel and free hand

I had no discussion with the doctors beforehand about technique. I didn't even know to ask. When I first removed the bandages I was left with a somewhat irregular scar line and a row of stitches all around, so I believe it was a freehand resection. It was insanely tight and somewhat high. As I've discussed elsewhere, I had agreed to allow the intern to perform the surgery and i suspect it was the result of his inexperience. Turned out alright in the end, but in the first couple of months the tightness was pretty intense.

Mine was done with a plastibell. I know because my mom saved it in a photo album, which I found in the basement when I was 12. You can see where the handle was broken off, and the string looks like dried blood.
