Comparison between outcomes of the conventional dorsal slit technique vs the sleeve technique for circumcision-A Randomised Control Trial.

Circumcision is a widely performed surgical procedure with significant cultural, religious, and medical implications. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two common circumcision techniques: the conventional dorsal slit technique and the sleeve technique, in terms of operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, requirement of analgesia, and postoperative infection. This prospective randomized interventional study will be conducted at JN Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences, from October 2023 to August 2025. Fifty-two patients scheduled for circumcision for various medical or religious reasons will be randomly assigned into two groups using sealed envelopes. The outcomes will be evaluated at 1, 2, and 6 weeks postoperatively. The study will provide a comprehensive assessment of the relative merits and drawbacks of each technique by systematically evaluating various parameters such as operative time, postoperative pain, and postoperative infection. The findings of this study will help in guiding surgeons to select the most appropriate circumcision technique based on patient outcomes, potentially influencing clinical practice and patient care standards.
