Abstract
Circumcision is a simple operation often performed under general anaesthesi a, In this study, we assessed the suitability of local anaesthesia in 38 ad ult patients, 79.4% of whom suffered little or no discomfort. Infiltration of local anaesthesia caused moderate pain in 10 patients (29.4%) and severe pain in only one. The circumcision itself caused moderate pain in three pa tients and severe pain in another three (8.8%); 85% of patients expressed c omplete satisfaction.
