Abstract

Circumcision is a procedure of removal of the penile foreskin. It is among the highest procedures performed worldwide, primarily for ritual and religious purposes among Muslims and Jews. It is also performed for hygiene and the prevention of malignancy. All practitioners must master the procedure, especially in identifying the normal anatomy and avoiding possible morbidities. Since the available simulated circumcision model is costly and not readily available, we invented a step-by-step technique to create a model for circumcision aiming to master this standard procedure, especially the dorsal slit.
