PAULS CIRCUMCISION
METHOD
HISTORY OF CIRCUMCISION
 The Origin of circumcision is really not known
 Evidence suggest Ancient Egypt
 Socio-Cultural reason: Africa( Niger-Congo
Areas of Africa)
 Kisiis people in Kenya, SA Zulus, Senegal and
and around Gambia
 Cross Rivers in Modern Nigeria(6-7,000yrs
ago)
Determinant of Circumcision
1. RELIGEON( account for about 30%)
2. CULTURE(mainly Africa)
3. SOCIAL NORMS( plays a vital role)
4. MEDICAL(The least factor and even now
debatable)
DEMOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE
 Most circumcision occur under 1 year
 In East & Southern Africa, it is usually done as
a right of passage into adulthood.
 In Nigeria, it is mostly done under 1year but
there are situations where it can be delayed
for anywhere between 1-25years and more.
DEMOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
DEMOGRAPHY CONTINUE
 The un-shaded areas shows reports of
circumcision figures less than 20% of the
population
 Yellow show figures of between 20  60%
 Orange is 60 -80%
 Red is over 80%
Perceived benefit of circumcision
 Improved penile hygiene
 Protection against STI, HIV.
 Female sexual preference & attraction
 Social influence and
 Cultural imperative
OTHER METHODS OF CIRCUMCISION
1. Surgical Methods:
a. Dorsal Slit-Sleeve method
b. Excision-ligation method
c. Pauls Method
2. Non-Surgical Methods:
a. Circumplast
b. Plasibell
c. Gomco clamp
d. Mogen clamp etc.
THE TEAM
 The Surgeon
 A Nurse assistant
 A ward maid for errand.
INSTRUMENTS:
 A small
instrument Tray.
 A galley pot
 A medium size
kidney dish.
 A bottle of Olive
Oil
 3 nos artery forceps preferably
number 3
 A bone Crushing forceps
 A small sterile pack.

 AFFORDABLE3
PAULS CIRCUMCISION METHOD:
Key advantages of Pauls method:
 Simple
 Cost effective
 Safe and
 Bloodless
PROCEDURE:
 The baby is placed back
down and face up with
his head towards the
assistant.
 The assistant stand facing
the surgeon on the other
side of the couch.
 The assistant will grab
the babys thighs in a
double flexion externally
rotated position to give
good access to babys
genitalia.
Procedure continue:
 Babys genitalia
cleaned with salvlon.
 A skin mark is place
just below the glans
impression using an
artery forceps.
 The urethra orifice is
dilated to allow forceps
introduction
Procedure Conti
 Forceps is introduced
 Prepuce free from the
glans
PROCEDURE continue
 The glans is milk down
 Prepuce held between
the left thumb and
index finger.
.Procedure Conti
 Bone Crushing
forceps(BCF) introduced
 Clamped firmly just
above the gland
 Moderate pressure is
applied for btw 2-
3minutes
PROCEDURE continue
 With a tiger blade
 The redundant skin is
severed
 Pressure sustained on
the BCF for 1-2minutes
before release
PROCEDURE continue
 Pressure on bcf
maintained for 1-
2minutes more after
the removal of foreskin
PROCEDURE continue
 The BCF is released
 The sealed skin is priced
open
 The glans is popped out
 Dressing done with a
strip of gauze soaked in
olive oil.
 Gauze is taken off the
second day
PROCEDURE continue
 The glans is gently
popped out and the
skin pushed down with
a thin(about 1cm)
clearance below the
glans
Circumcision just concluded
 The clearance should be
obvious here.
 Pauls Method make
rooms for various shaft
sizes
 Minimal pains and
shorter time of
exposure to painful
experience
PROCEDURE continue
 A thin strip of gauze
soaked in Olive oil is
used as the dressing.
 The dressing comes off
by the third day
 Thereafter the wound is
dabbed with generous
Olive Oil daily until full
healing btw 7-10days
PROCEDURE continue
 The baby requires no
antibiotics and no
antipyretics..
 But some mothers do
press for pcm syrups

COMPLICATIONS:
 Glans amputation
 Heamorrhage
 Infection(rare)
 Erectile Dysfunction
 Excessive skin loss
 Insufficient skin removal
 Swelling
 Delay wound healing
Risk of Un-
Circumcision
 Cancer of the penis.
 Stds e.g Hiv
 Infection of the Penis
 Phimosis &
 UTI
Shoddy Job
 Not enough skin
taken
 Social burden
 Usually from TBAs
 We see many on a
daily basis.
SUMMARY
 Pauls Method is an adaptation of the old
Excision/Ligation method.
 Best at ages 2weeks  5months and
sometimes older babies with small penile
shaft .
 Neat, safe, simple & bloodless procedure
 It can be use to correct shoddy jobs
 Easy mastery after a few attempts.
CONCLUSION:
 Male circumcision is an old surgical procedure
 Origin traceable to Egypt
 It is a practice that has a universal appeal mostly
among educated families around the world.
 Neonatal circumcision is more popular than
adult circumcision and
 Has fewer complication than adult circumcision
CAVEAT
 Studies are on-going to see if circumcision
affects male-male sexual transmission of HIV.
 Circumcision is not recommended for men
living with HIV.
 It is important to use condoms and get tested
for HIV even if the man is circumcised.
 Safe sex is advised for all and at all times
