Abstract:
Aim: To establish the clinical effectiveness of Mogen clamp, an infrequently used circumcision device, in terms of
outcome and complications.
Method: This was a descriptive case series done in Government Said Mitha Teaching Hospital, Lahore. 240
neonates and infants (age up to one year) were circumcised from October 2016 to October 2017 using Mogen
clamp. Patients were divided into neonates and infants. Variable of interest were post operative bleeding, need of
suturing and adequacy of circumcision.
Results: Post operative bleeding was seen in 25 patients (10.4%) out of which 12 (5%) had bleeding immediately
after surgery while 13 patients (5.4%) had bleeding within 01 hour of surgery. Under circumcision was seen in 7
patients (2.9%) while over circumcision was seen in 5 patients (2.1%) and required suturing. Overall sutures were
applied in 26 patients (10.8%) either for control of bleeding or for over circumcision. No incident of glanular or
urethral injury occurred.
Conclusion: Circumcision with Mogen device is safe, reliable, and easy to perform procedure in clinical settings
with much less complication rates.
