By: Dr. Khan

Published: June 25, 2025

Our audit at Thornhill Circumcision Centre, Luton, Bedforshire

incidence of complications in circumcision for 6 months olds is significantly lower when compared to 6 to 110 months old children.  We can conclude that under 6 months is the optimal age for non-therapeutic male circumcision in a community clinic using Circumplast and Plastibell devices.
