ShangRing Circumcision Method
A modern circumcision technique designed to simplify the procedure and support predictable healing.
The ShangRing is a medical device used during circumcision procedures. It uses two specially designed rings that secure the foreskin during removal, allowing the procedure to be performed in a controlled and predictable way. This technique has been widely used internationally and is commonly recommended for older children, teenagers and adults.
The ShangRing is a circumcision device consisting of two plastic rings.
During the procedure:
This stabilises the tissue and allows the foreskin to be removed safely while helping control bleeding during the procedure.
The device remains in place during the early stages of healing.

Patients will receive instructions about preparation for the procedure, which may include:

This technique is generally not used for newborns or very young infants.
During consultation, the doctor will determine whether the ShangRing method is the most suitable option based on age, anatomy and medical considerations.
After the procedure, the ShangRing device remains in place while the area begins to heal.
Patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort during the early stages of healing.
General recovery guidance includes:
Patients are usually advised not to shower or bathe on the first day, and to keep the area clean and dry until the ring falls off or is removed.
Once the ring has been removed, the wound continues healing over the following weeks. The outer ring is removed after 7-10 days and inner ring falls off in 48 hours.
