Circumcision is one of the world’s oldest surgical procedures, performed for cultural, religious, and medical reasons. Over time, methods have evolved to make the procedure safer and faster, with better results for patients.
At Circumcision Pro, lead surgeon Dr Ruhul Amin has pioneered the Amin CircCurer Circumcision Technique (ACCT) – a modern approach that combines innovation with clinical expertise. This technique uses the CircCurer stapler device, designed to make circumcision more efficient, with less bleeding, shorter procedure times, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
A Brief History
Traditional circumcision techniques rely on scalpels and sutures, which can mean longer operations, more bleeding, and varied cosmetic results. The CircCurer device was originally designed in 2009 in China, inspired by stapling devices used in bowel surgery. It was later refined for safe circumcision, receiving CE certification in Europe.
Dr Ruhul Amin has taken this device further by developing the ACCT method, drawing on his experience of over 12,000 circumcisions. His refinements make the technique safer, quicker, and more adaptable to patients of different ages.
The CircCurer Device
The CircCurer device is single-use and disposable, reducing infection risks. It has two parts:
- Inner bell – protects the glans (head of the penis) during the procedure.
- Outer bell – contains a circular blade and titanium staples.
When the device is activated, it cuts the foreskin and immediately seals the wound with staples. This “cut-and-close” approach means far less bleeding and shorter operating times.
Titanium staples are widely used in surgery as they are safe, strong, and naturally fall away during healing.
How the Procedure Works
The Amin CircCurer Technique is highly standardised and usually takes just 4–8 minutes, compared with 30–45 minutes for traditional surgery.
Step-by-step process:
- Anaesthetic – A local nerve block (and, if needed, sedation) ensures comfort. Circumcision Pro was the first UK clinic to offer sedation for circumcision.
- Positioning – The foreskin is drawn into the device and aligned.
- Activation – The blade cuts while staples close the wound instantly.
- Bleeding control – Minimal bleeding occurs, but checks are done.
- Dressing – A protective dressing is applied for the first few days.
Most patients return to normal activities very quickly.
Advantages of ACCT
The Amin CircCurer Technique offers clear benefits compared to traditional methods:
- Short procedure time – 4–8 minutes vs. 30–45.
- Minimal bleeding – thanks to immediate stapling.
- Faster recovery – 2–4 weeks vs. 4–6 weeks.
- Less pain – many patients report only mild discomfort.
- Better cosmetic outcomes – neat, symmetrical results.
- No stitches to remove – staples naturally drop off.
Patient feedback at Circumcision Pro shows 100% satisfaction rates, with men reporting improved comfort and confidence.
Training and Adoption
As the UK’s first surgeon certified in CircCurer procedures, Dr Ruhul Amin also trains other surgeons in the technique. His structured training programme covers theory, practice on simulation models, and supervised procedures.
The method is now being adopted beyond private practice. Hospitals such as the Royal Liverpool University Hospital are piloting CircCurer circumcision as part of their urology services, recognising its efficiency and excellent outcomes.
Considerations and Limitations
The Amin CircCurer Technique is not suitable for everyone. Patients with:
- Extensive scarring (e.g. from BXO),
- Anatomical variations (e.g. buried penis), or
- Specific medical conditions (e.g. clotting disorders),
may be better suited to traditional methods.
Possible (though uncommon) complications include minor bleeding, infection, or retained staples. These are rare and easily managed with follow-up care.
Looking Ahead
Research is ongoing to further refine the CircCurer device and expand its use globally. Future improvements may include new sizes, enhanced staple materials, and additional safety features.
Dr Ruhul Amin continues to lead clinical audits and research, including the first large UK case series of CircCurer circumcision, presented to the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS).
Conclusion
The Amin CircCurer Circumcision Technique marks a step forward in circumcision surgery. It combines efficiency, safety, and cosmetic precision, benefiting patients, surgeons, and healthcare systems alike.
At Circumcision Pro, Dr Ruhul Amin is at the forefront of this innovation, offering patients in the UK one of the most advanced circumcision options available.
