Babies and Toddlers (0-2 years old)

Below are a few videos which we would like you to watch. They include a consultation explaining what to expect on the day of circumcision, aftercare video for the Plastibell/ Circumplast (ring) method, how to change the nappy and an explanation of how to clean the penis after the ring comes off. Please note that every patient is different and whilst this explanation will apply to most of patients, if there is anything different which your son may need, we will advise you accordingly. For example, we sometimes use the Forceps Guided (traditional) method instead of the ring and we have included the aftercare for this method on this page as well.
