Brunker Road Medical Centre Operating Procedure Rooms
As of 1/11/2016, Health funds have unilaterally decided not to cover circumcision in a private hospital unless over 6 months old under a general anaesthetic
Plastibell
Ring Circumcisions - Circumplast
Dr Sales and Dr Lindsay perform circumcisions at Brunker Road Medical Centre (1/282 Brunker Rd Adamstown NSW). Private insurance does NOT cover this procedure as of 1/11/2016.
Dr Sales and Dr Lindsay both use the Circumplast and Plastibell method. Our current ring preference is Circumplast
The operation is performed under local anaesthetic.
Babies need to be at least 14 days old and under 8 weeks for the procedure.
A combination of oral Paracetamol and Ordine, topical anaesthetic cream and injected lignocaine is used for pain control.
You will need to view the presentation images prior to attending the consultation. All babies are checked in our rooms at 1/282 Brunker Road Adamstown prior to surgery to assess suitability for operation and to look for heart murmurs. Babies with a heart murmur may need further evaluation by echocardiogram prior to surgery.
