Surgical Treatment of arthritis. Dr. Tamer Kahil has successfully performed hundreds of cases of circumcision in Australia and overseas. He is delighted that all cases he has performed achieved the best possible results. While it is not classified as a disease however, it is frequently associated with conditions such as phimosis, balanitis and rarely pe**le cancer. Circumcision, the removal of the fo****in, is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world. Indications for circumcision are:
- Treatment of diseases, such as phimosis (adhesion of fo****in and pe**le g***s), balanitis (pe**le g***s infection).
- Painful sexual in*******se secondary to fo****in.
- Prophylactic benefits such as decrease risk of HIV, Hepatitis B transmission through sexual in*******se.
- Personal and sexual preference.
- Social and religious concerns; The development of the fo****in or prepuce begins during the third month of gestation as a fold of skin at the base of the g***s. The proper development of the fo****in is dependent on the presence of androgen and androgen receptors. Although formation of the fo****in is complete during foetal life, separation of the fo****in from the pe**le g***s is gradual and typically incomplete at the time of birth. Complete retraction of the fo****in can be expected in 20% of boys by 6 months, 50% by 1 year, 80% by 2 years and 90% by 3 years. Delay retraction and adhesion of fo****in with pe**le g***s can lead to certain medical conditions. At our Orthopaedic Surgery in Punchbowl, we accept males of all ages. It is performed under local anaesthetic as an office procedure. Please call us to make an appointment.
