Hello friends, in this short blog post, we are going to discuss on the topic

‘How much does circumcision cost?’

Are you searching for a circumcision treatment in Chennai? Then you definitely must know about the cost. Moreover, the specific cost. Most circumcision clinics in Chennai perform a foreskin removal only through conventional circumcision, also called surgical removal.

The conventional foreskin removal can range anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 rupees. This of course ranges depending on the surgeon doing the procedure and also partly on which hospital it is being done. Furthermore, cheap is NOT always the best in circumcision. You can visit a local sunnat shop to butcher your foreskin for just 10,000 rupees, but how horrible and traumatized would you feel?

Trust me a LOT of patients under family pressure and due to bad finances end up doing exactly the above mentioned Sunnat technique of foreskin removal. Furthermore, the technique of sunnat cutting although cheap is associated with numerous post cutting complications.

The next common method of circumcision is called laser circumcision. This technique is widely advertised by numerous day care surgery centres as being painless and/or highly precise. However, the truth is something else altogether. In this methodology, heat is used to cut or coagulate the foreskin edges and stitches are placed. The ads of laser circumcision are highly misleading, and the clinics that do advertise such techniques charge anywhere from 80000 to upwards of 100000 rupees.

The last method of circumcision is called as stapler circumcision. In this technique, a disposable circumcision stapler is used for the surgical procedure. The device performs the circumcision in a painless, stitch free manner. The device is a onetime use per patient only.

At our circumcision clinic in Chennai, we strongly advocate the stapler circumcision technique only, since it is both painless and stitch-free. Furthermore, we provide the stapler circumcision technique in our clinic at 40,000 INR all inclusive, with discounts offered non affordable deserving patients. That mean’s what you get is basically the latest stapler technology of circumcision at roughly same cost of conventional stitch based circumcision technique. Our aim is fairly simple. To offer, cost effective and safe circumcision techniques to our patients. To summarize the cost of various circumcision procedures

1. Normal circumcision – 40,000 to 60,000 INR
2. Laser (heat) based circumcision – 80,000 to 1,00,000 INR
3. Stapler Circumcision in other hospitals – 60,000 to 1,00,000 INR
4. Stapler Circumcision in our clinic – 40,000 INR with Discounts
