['The aim of this study is to evaluate bipolar scissors circumcision by comparing it with standard freehand scalpel procedure.', 'Data were analyzed from a prospective, randomized study, comparing 2 different surgical techniques for pediatric circumcision: the bipolar diathermy scissors circumcision technique with those of a conventional scalpel technique. A total of 230 pediatric patients younger than 16 years (115 in each arm of the trial) who were undergoing circumcision were reviewed prospectively. Operative time, surgical bleeding, complications, and postoperative morbidity were analyzed. Differences between bipolar scissors circumcision and conventional surgery were compared.', 'Median blood loss for bipolar circumcision was 0.2 mL (range, 0-0.8 mL) compared with 2.1 mL in the standard group (range, 0.9-4.2 mL) (P < .001). Operative time in the bipolar diathermy treated group was significantly decreased compared with conventionally treated patients (10.8 +/- 1.2 vs 19.1 +/- 2.6 minutes; P < .01). Early and late postoperative morbidity were significantly decreased in circumcised patients who underwent the bipolar circumcision technique as compared with those who underwent the conventional approach regardless of the postoperative edema (22 vs 10; P = .02).'] Is bipolar scissors circumcision a safe , fast , and bloodless procedure in children?
