The removal of adhesional synechiae and circumcision of the foreskin in a 4-year-old child are delicate surgical procedures, performed with precision to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Adhesional synechiae, common in children, cause the foreskin to adhere to the glans, potentially leading to infections or difficulties in skin retraction. Circumcision removes the foreskin for medical, cultural, or religious reasons.
The procedure requires general anesthesia and a specialized team. The separation of synechiae is performed with sterile instruments and minimally invasive techniques, followed by circumcision and suturing with absorbable stitches. Post-operative care includes specific measures to prevent infections and ensure optimal healing.
The surgical procedures shown in this video were performed by Prof. Gabriele Antonini. Some of these images, intended for a medical audience and educational purposes, may be intense for those unaccustomed to surgical scenes.
