Circumcisions are among the most frequently performed operations in children and numerous techniques are employed often with varying results. Use of the Plastibell™ (Hollister Incorporated, Illinois, USA), under local anesthetic, is popular for cultural and religious circumcisions but is not without its problems. Complications of Plastibell™ (slippage, migration, bleeding and serious infection) have been reported. Described is a prospective series of cases in which modifications to the standard Plastibell™ technique were utilized to improve outcomes, in particular, the risk of bleeding.
