Rest assured, the procedure is designed to be as comfortable, safe, and quick as possible.
The Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, holds both postgraduate surgical training and an anaesthetic diploma to ensure the effectiveness of Saddik’s protocol.
A technique known as a dorsal penile nerve block ( pudendal nerve block) effectively numbs the area. This method temporarily dulls the nerve fibres responsible for pain, ensuring that the procedure is painless and over in minutes.
While there may be a slight sensation when the local anaesthetic is administered, it’s kept to a minimum to enhance comfort. The numbing effect typically lasts a few hours, providing ample procedure time without discomfort and a postoperative period.
The Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, employs both rapid and long-acting local anaesthetics agents.
During the circumcision procedure, ensuring effective pain relief for the newborn is crucial. The process begins by administering two local anaesthetic injections to numb the area. These injections are strategically given—one above and one below the penis.
It’s worth noting that these injections are similar in discomfort level to standard immunization shots, a familiar reference point for many parents.
To maximize accuracy and ensure the anaesthetic’s efficacy, the Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, employs specific guidance from Saddik ‘s protocol during the injection. This advanced technique confirms that the anaesthetic is delivered precisely to where it’s needed, providing you with the reassurance of a carefully executed procedure. After a few minutes of waiting, the anaesthesia takes effect, rendering the area completely numb. This allows the procedure to be performed without causing additional pain to the baby or adult.
Saddik’s protocol provides safe, effective sedation options from his anaesthetic experience to toddlers and younger children to ensure a pleasant experience, minimum distress, and fear-free, and the child sits still while performing the circumcision.
The Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, prescribes appropriate oral analgesics for postoperative pain, tailored individually for various age groups or the patient’s pain tolerance.
At the preoperative visit, the Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, will assess each case individually and explain the best possible anaesthetic option for your son or adult. Please feel free to contact us to discuss further.
