We have used surgical gauze under the prepuceal skin as a pack in 20 cases prior to
marking incision for circumcision. The prepuceal adhesions were first dissected and
seperated. The method allows a stable, well-supported prepuceal surface for marking
incisions and avoids injuries to the glans. Because the prepuceal surface is taut
and stable, hemostasis is easier and quicker and the operating time is reduced.
