Abstract
Circumcision is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide that is done in order to decrease the risk of urinary system infections, penile cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, human papilloma virus, herpes simplex virus type 2, human immunodeficiency virus and other venereal diseases. Also, it is included in the religious practices of Muslims and Jews. The diversity of circumcision techniques is the result of the search for more practical, cheaper, safer, and less complicated methods. There are several ways to decrease the risk of bleeding, such as the use of a CO2 laser, tissue glue, epinephrine, silver nitrate, thrombin, suturing, and electrosurgery. The use of diathermy on the penis is controversial, and there is a fear of inflicting harm caused by the electric current and resulting heat generated by electrosurgery.
