Stapler Circumcision in Nashik (ZSR Anastomat)
By Dr. Jaideep Somvanshi | Panacea Clinic, Nashik | +91 9112220247
What Is ZSR Stapler Circumcision?
ZSR (Zhangshanjing) Anastomat Circumcision is a modern, minimally invasive technique for circumcision that uses a specially designed stapling device to perform stitch-free circumcision in minutes. Unlike conventional circumcision which uses a scalpel and requires multiple sutures, the ZSR technique uses a circular stapler that simultaneously cuts the foreskin and applies a ring of tiny titanium staples to seal the wound. The staples fall off naturally within 10–21 days.
This technique is rapidly becoming the gold standard for adult circumcision in India, and at Panacea Clinic Nashik, Dr. Jaideep Somvanshi offers ZSR anastomat circumcision for all patients requiring circumcision — particularly for phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent balanitis, paraphimosis, and other medical indications.
Advantages of ZSR Stapler Circumcision
- Stitch-free — no sutures required
- Very short procedure — less than 5 minutes of cutting time
- Minimal blood loss — stapler seals vessels simultaneously
- Less post-operative pain than conventional circumcision
- Day-care procedure — same-day discharge
- Faster healing — cosmetically excellent results
- Lower infection risk — sterile disposable device
- Suitable for all age groups (adolescents and adults)
Medical Indications for Circumcision
Circumcision is medically recommended for the following conditions:
- Phimosis — tight or non-retractile foreskin causing difficulty in urination or hygiene
- Paraphimosis — foreskin retracted and cannot return to normal position (emergency)
- Recurrent balanitis — repeated infections under the foreskin
- Lichen sclerosus (BXO) — progressive scarring of the foreskin
- Religious or personal reasons
The ZSR Circumcision Procedure at Panacea Clinic
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or spinal block, depending on patient preference. A penile block is administered to ensure complete pain control. The ZSR device is selected based on size, positioned, and the trigger is activated — the device simultaneously cuts the foreskin and staples the wound in a single action. The procedure takes 15–20 minutes from prep to finish. Patients are observed for 1–2 hours and discharged with post-operative instructions.
Post-Circumcision Care and Recovery
After ZSR circumcision, patients are advised to keep the area clean and dry, avoid strenuous activity for 7–10 days, and take prescribed antibiotics and analgesics. The titanium staples loosen and fall off automatically within 10–21 days. Patients typically return to work within 5–7 days and full recovery occurs within 3–4 weeks. Dr. Somvanshi schedules follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 weeks post-surgery.

-
What is the difference between conventional and ZSR stapler circumcision?Conventional circumcision uses a scalpel to cut the foreskin and requires 15–20 stitches that need removal after healing. ZSR stapler circumcision uses a circular stapling device — no stitches, less bleeding, less pain, and faster recovery. The cosmetic result is also superior with ZSR.
-
Is ZSR circumcision painful?ZSR circumcision is performed under local anesthesia (penile block), so the procedure itself is painless. Mild discomfort and swelling are expected for 3–5 days after the procedure and are managed with oral pain medication.
-
How long do the staples stay after ZSR circumcision?The titanium staples applied by the ZSR device loosen and fall off naturally within 10–21 days as the wound heals. They do not need to be removed manually.
-
Who needs circumcision?Circumcision is indicated for medical conditions like phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent balanitis, paraphimosis, and BXO (lichen sclerosus). It may also be performed for religious or personal reasons. Dr. Somvanshi evaluates each patient to confirm the indication.
