releasing adhesions to a glans penis of a patient;
covering the glans penis with the glans penis engaging cover of the glans penis protector;
locating a portion of the foreskin of the patient to be severed over the handle of the glans penis protector;
moving the foreskin and glans penis protector transversely through an opening between the jaws of the circumcision device until the glans penis engaging cover is immediately adjacent to the jaws with the handle passing between the jaws;
parting the handle from the glans penis engaging cover so as to leave the cover on a side of the jaws opposite from said portion of the foreskin to be severed;
crushing the foreskin in an elongated crush region between the jaws;
allowing the crushed foreskin to remain in that condition for a time period selected to promote hemostasis;
severing the foreskin crushed between the jaws;
releasing the jaws; and
removing the glans penis engaging cover.
