No-scalpel circumcision is a modern, safe, and minimally invasive technique that allows the removal of the foreskin quickly, under local anesthesia and without traditional sutures, resulting in a more comfortable recovery.
At Andrología Málaga, we perform this procedure using a second-generation automatic device that cuts and closes the skin at the same time, reducing bleeding, pain, and healing time.

What is phimosis?
Phimosis is a condition in which the opening of the foreskin is too narrow, preventing the glans from being fully or partially exposed. This makes proper penile hygiene difficult and can cause discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse.
It may be present from birth (congenital phimosis), but it can also develop during adolescence or adulthood. In adult men, it is more common in patients with diabetes or circulatory problems, as these conditions increase the risk of infections, chronic inflammation, and slower healing.
What treatments are available for phimosis?
There are two main treatment options:
Conservative treatment
Conservative treatment consists of manual foreskin retraction exercises, sometimes combined with topical corticosteroid creams. It is usually the first option in children and mild cases.
Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is the definitive solution and is recommended in most cases of adult phimosis. The most advanced technique available today is no-scalpel circumcision, which allows for faster recovery and better aesthetic results.
No-Scalpel circumcision: the definitive solution
At Andrología Málaga, we perform no-scalpel circumcision using a second-generation automatic device with a silicone line between the staples to improve healing and aesthetic outcomes.
This device adapts to each patient’s anatomy and allows the circumcision to be completed in just a few minutes, without traditional sutures. By cutting and closing the skin simultaneously, both intraoperative and postoperative risks are reduced, and home wound care is easier.
How is No-Scalpel circumcision performed?
The procedure is simple, safe, and comfortable for the patient:
1
The penile circumference is measured to select the appropriate device size.
2
Local anesthesia is applied to ensure the procedure is painless.
3
If necessary, a frenuloplasty is performed.
4
The device is placed around the foreskin, cutting and joining the skin at the same time.
5
The stainless steel staples fall off naturally within 3 to 4 weeks.
After the procedure, a dressing is applied and removed after 24 to 48 hours. The patient can go home walking and resume normal daily activities shortly afterward.
