Our Techniques

Procedures and Methods

We use clinically proven methods and techniques appropriate for each age group, ensuring safety, minimal discomfort, and excellent results.

Baby Circumcision (0-2 years old)

Technique

We use the Circumplast or Plastibell ring method, which are quick, minimally invasive procedures with excellent outcomes.

Pain Management

Local anaesthesia in the form of injection and post-procedure pain management ensures your baby's painless circumcision.

Duration

The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes, with additional time for preparation, assessment, and postoperative recovery.

Recovery

Infants typically recover quickly, with complete healing within 7-10 days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions for parents.

Boys Circumcision (3-12 years old)

Technique

We use the Circumplast method or the cut and stitches method, depending on the age, which are quick, minimally invasive procedures with excellent outcomes.

Pain Management

We apply a topical anaesthetic cream to numb the area before administering a local anaesthetic injection.

Duration

The procedure will take approximately 15- 45 minutes, with additional time for preparation and time for the aftercare post-op inspection.

Recovery

Boys typically take a few days longer than a baby; the ring will fall off or full recovery within 2 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions for boys’ circumcision.

Adolescent Circumcision (13-15 years old)

Technique

For older boys, we use the forceps-guided method, which involves either glue or stitches only. This is the best method.

Pain Management

We apply a topical anaesthetic cream one hour before administering a local anaesthetic injection, which numbs the area to ensure a pain-free circumcision. Paracetamol or ibuprofen can be taken if required after the circumcision.

Duration

This procedure will take around 45-60 minutes, with additional time for a consultation and aftercare inspection.

Recovery

The stitches will dissolve in around 3-4 weeks. No sport or physical activity should be conducted during the 2 to 3 week recovery period.

Adult Circumcision (16+ years old)

Technique

For Adults, we use the forceps-guided, sleeve-freehand method or a stapler circumcision, depending on the anatomy and reasons for circumcision. We perform the procedure with subcutaneous stitches and skin glue for adult circumcision.

Pain Management

Local anaesthetic injection is used to numb the area, ensuring complete comfort and a pain-free experience. Pain killers like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen can be used if required after the procedure.

Duration

This procedure will take around 20-50 minutes, depending on the method, with additional time for pre-operative assessment and post-operative inspection.

Recovery

For adult circumcision, the glue will come off on its own within 10 days; the stitches will dissolve in around 3 – 4 weeks, and the staplers will come off within 3- 6 weeks.

Lewis Sutcliffe

Patient

Never been here before, but after visiting, I am most impressed. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful I have come across in my 80 years. Very comfortable seating in the waiting room. The doctor I saw was more like a friend, and it was the first time I had met him.

Norman Mitchell

Patient

I considered several clinics for my circumcision, but I'm glad I chose Thornhill. Dr Amin and his staff were excellent from start to finish. They were professional and friendly, putting me at ease right away and explaining everything patiently. I highly recommend the staple method and this service.

Steve F

Patient

Our experience at Thornhill was truly amazing. We were greeted by a friendly lady at the reception, and all the team members were very friendly. After the procedure, we received helpful post-procedure documents. The clinic was also very clean. I would highly recommend Thornhill.

Ann Njuguna

Patient

As a man in my 50s, I never expected to need this operation and was quite nervous. However, if you find yourself needing circumcision, I highly recommend Thornhill. It’s very professional, clean, and caring. Top quality service.
Thanks!

Dave Cox

Patient

I needed a circumcision and checked clinics. I chose Thornhill. Dr Amin explained the options. I opted for the circumcision procedure. It was pricier but had quicker recovery. The process took 20 minutes. I’m pleased with the results. I highly recommend Thornhill.
