Freehand

A method of circumcision in which the doctor uses just a scapel to remove the foreskin.

Freehand circumcision is commonly the method used on adolescents and adults. The results are very dependent on the skill of the surgeon. This method requires the use of sutures to re-connect the ends of the remaining penile skin.
