The patients were divided into two groups: treated with traditional circumcision (control group) and treated with a disposable circumcision stapler (experimental group). Surgical parameters (operation time, intraoperative bleeding), postoperative outcomes (postoperative pain scores, wound healing time, severe edge swelling, wound dehiscence, postoperative rebleeding, postoperative infection, aesthetic satisfaction), were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 301 pediatric patients were included in our study, with 146 in the traditional group and 155 in the stapler group. The stapler group showed significantly lower values in operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative rebleeding compared to the traditional group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). However, the traditional group had a significant advantage in postoperative wound healing time and the occurrence of severe edge swelling (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of anesthetic drug dosage, postoperative pain level, postoperative infection rate, wound dehiscence, and aesthetic satisfaction (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the treatment of pediatric phimosis and redundant prepuce, the advantage of traditional circumcision lies in faster postoperative recovery and less severe edge swelling. The disposable circumcision stapler excels in thorough hemostasis, easy and safe operation, suitable for primary medical use, but lags behind in postoperative recovery compared to the traditional method. Each treatment approach has its own advantages, and the choice should be based on the actual condition and circumstances of the patient. Personalized treatment decisions should be made collaboratively to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1394403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]],"date-time":"2024-07-22T04:41:38Z","timestamp":1721623298000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Optimizing treatment strategies for pediatric phimosis and redundant prepuce: a comparative study of traditional circumcision and disposable circumcision stapler"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Guoyan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongliang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shangchao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yonglang","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangyu","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linde","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiyuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"1396","article-title":"Phimosis and paraphimosis","volume-title":"Zhang Jinzhe Pediatric Surgery","author":"Zhang","year":"2013"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1007\/s15006-021-9902-y","article-title":"Phimose im kindesalter [phimosis in children]","volume":"163","author":"Eismann","year":"2021","journal-title":"MMW Fortschr Med"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1106318","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1106318","article-title":"Lichen sclerosus: the 2023 update","volume":"10","author":"De Luca","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Med (Lausanne)"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.18954","article-title":"2022 European guideline for the management of balanoposthitis","volume":"37","author":"Edwards","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.14206","article-title":"Circumcision in the paediatric patient: a review of indications, technique and complications","volume":"54","author":"Prabhakaran","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.54847\/cp.2023.04.12","article-title":"Comparative study of mechanical vs. manual circumcision in the pediatric population: an alternative to the conventional technique?
