How does circumcision work?
Circumcision is not just an act that can be done by anyone at any location. Circumcision is a medical procedure that must be performed by professionals with the utmost care and expertise under sterile conditions.

Will I receive pain relief?
The circumcisions are only performed under the condition that there is absolute pain relief. For this, the children are given an anesthetic liquid locally, under the skin, with a few injections. Before the injection, children are given an anesthetic ointment so that they do not feel the injection or as little as possible. Only when tests show that the foreskin AND the glans are completely numb is the procedure started.

An expertise of VATAN is pain and anxiety relief through leading techniques.

Young children are given SUCROSE or their own food before the anesthetic injection. SUCROSE is sugar water which has been proven to relieve pain, so they do not feel the injection or much less. Children older than 6 months are given a nasal spray to make them drowsy and experience as little as possible of the procedure.

It is also possible to opt for a form of sleep or deep sedation that involves deep natural sleep. See also sleep sedation.

Sterility and hygiene at Vatan Clinic
The VATAN circumcision clinic works according to strict quality standards. Every patient is helped with a new set of sterile instruments that are thrown away after use. So there is never reuse, not even of clamps, scissors, etc.
