Circumcision is a procedure involving the foreskin removal of the penis exposing the glans penis. Indication includes family reasons, phimosis or recurrent balanitis [1][2]. Most circumcisions occur in the newborn nursery performed by pediatrician or obstetrician with different clamps when patients are neonates[1][3]. However, if circumcision is performed in the operating room, the procedure begins with two incisions to remove the penile skin surrounding and covering the glans penis which is the most common method in the operating room[3].

Preoperative management

Operating room setup

  • Set OR temperature to 70o to 75o
  • Underbody bear hugger preheated

Patient preparation and premedication

  • PO midazolam for anxiety in children experiencing separation anxiety
  • PO acetaminophen for pain

Regional and neuraxial techniques

  • Caudal epidural, penile block, pudendal nerve block, or dorsal ring block for analgesia supplemented with general [1][2][4]'
  • Caudal: 0.25% Bupivacaine 1cc/kg OR 0.2% ropivacaine

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

  • Standard ASA monitors
  • Temperature
  • PIV x 1

Induction and airway management

  • Mask induction with sevoflurane +/- N2O
    • ETT vs LMA
  • IV induction for patients > 10 years old

Positioning

  • Supine

Maintenance and surgical considerations

  • Maintenance with volatile anesthetics, IV anesthetic or a combination
  • Monitor temperature and ensure large surface areas are covered with warm blankets

Emergence

  • Emergence delirium

Postoperative management

Disposition

  • PACU
  • Usually discharged home

Pain management

  • Pain is mild
    • Multimodal
      • PO/PR/IV acetaminophen
      • IV/PO NSAIDs
      • IV/PO opioids
      • Topical local anesthetic
      • Regional block (penile block, can be performed by surgeon or anesthesia)
      • Caudal epidural

Potential complications

  • Infection
  • Hematoma

Procedure variants

Circumcision
Position Supine
Surgical time 30 minutes
EBL Minimal
Postoperative disposition Home
Pain management Mild , multimodal
Potential complications Infection, hematoma
