“…Sejauh ini penelitian terdahulu dalam 1 dekade terakhir terkait Sunathrone Circumcision Device masih sebatas pada dunia kesehatan yang membahas akan efektivitas dan efiensi penggunaannya. Di antaranya penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Morris dan Elley 12 , Young 13 , dan Alawalmlh et al 14 . Namun, pengkajian akan pengaitan antara penggunaan Sunathrone Circumcision Device dengan tinjauan hukum Islam tampak belum pernah dilakukan.…”

This study aimed to examine the practice of circumcision using the Sunathrone Klamp method at the Makassar Smart Care Center Clinic in a review of Islamic law. This research used field research using normative theological approaches and health approaches. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results found; 1) The healing process of the circumcision wound has a phase in 3 weeks (21 days), in which the skin will return to its original shape. There are three phases of wound healing after circumcision using the Sunathrone Klamp method, namely the inflammation phase, the proliferation phase, and the remodeling phase; 2) The advantages of the Sunathrone Klamp include a relatively short time, no stitches, minimizing pain, psychologically the child feels comfortable when circumcised, and relatively fast healing time. The drawbacks after circumcision are that the patient feels uncomfortable because the clamp will be installed in a few days, and has a high level of operational standards, so that it is only used by experts in the field; and 3) Sunathrone Klamp is a practical tool for circumcision or circumcision with an easier, safer, and hygienic working process. In a review of Islamic law, the Sunathrone Klamp method is permissible, as long as the circumcision process is carried out by an expert or professional.

“…Available methods and devices include freehand technique, dorsal slit method, use of the bone-cutter, and other glans guards which include plastibell device, Gomco clamp, Mogen clamp, Tara clamp, Smart clamp, Zhenxi Rings among others. [15] This has led to continuous improvement on the old devices while new ones are developing. [13,16] The Plastibell device was first described in 1956 in the USA by Kariher and Smith and has since become very popular, widely preferred by parents, and practiced due to its ease of application, safety, less blood loss, and shorter duration of the operation.…”

Bone cutter versus plastibell device in neonatal circumcision: A randomized trial

et al. 2020

Background: Several techniques and devices have been described for circumcision each with its own pros and cons. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of neonatal circumcision between bone-cutter and plastibell devices at our institution. Methods: This is a randomized trial (unregistered) conducted at the Pediatric Surgical Unit of a tertiary teaching hospital situated in a semi-urban setting, between January 2019 and December 2019. The uncircumcised neonates underwent circumcision by either bone-cutter or plastibell device. Demographic characteristics, operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative complications were compared. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The age ranged between 7 days and 30 days with a mean of 15.9±5.5 days. The mean age and weight of both groups were well matched (p >0.05). The operative time in the bone cutter technique was 4.2±0.9 minutes compared to 5.8±1.2 minutes in the plastibell device method (p <0.001). Blood loss was lesser with bone cutter (0.27 ±0.32mls versus 0.51 ±0.44mls in the plastibell device, p <0.001). The complication rates were comparable in both study groups (p =1.000). The overall complication rate was 5.8%. The penile perception score and the Hollander wound evaluation score for bone-cutter were 15.7±0.8 and 5.7±0.84 while in the plastibell device were 15.4±1.1 and 5.4±1.1, respectively (p >0.05). Conclusion: Operative time and blood loss were less with bone cutter compared to plastibell device. However, the complication rate, penile perception score, and Hollander wound evaluation scores were similar.

“…8 The survey confirms the conclusion of Hugh Young, in a study of circumcision techniques, that no fully satisfactory and entirely safe method has ever been devised and -given the complex and variable anatomy of the foreskin -none is ever likely to be. 9 Unlike a finger, an arm, the gall bladder or the appendix, the foreskin is not a discrete or self-contained member or organ that can easily be detached from the rest of the body. Since it is an extension of the penile skin system, there is no agreed point at which the "foreskin" ends and the rest of the penis skin begins, and thus no clearly-defined point at which the operator should start (or stop) cutting.…”
