What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy, safety, clinical outcomes, cosmetic appearance, and complication rates associated with various techniques of male circumcision. Infants will be divided into six groups based on the circumcision method used, including conventional dissection, bone cutting, electro-cauterization, thermal cauterization, Gomco clamp, and Plastibell device techniques. The study will be conducted at Sohag University Hospital over a six-month period, focusing on uncircumcised boys under 15 years of age. The goal is to provide comprehensive data on the outcomes of each technique.
