Factors Influencing Circumcision Surgery Cost in Malerkotla
Type of Circumcision Procedure available in Malerkotla
- Conventional Surgical Circumcision: In foreskin surgery, the foreskin is cut and the excess skin is removed and the remaining edges sutured. It is easily accessible and its costs are comparatively low.
- Laser Circumcision: It involves laser surgery to remove the foreskin, and the procedure minimizes blood loss and speeds up the healing process but the equipment cost is high and the procedure is performed only by a professional.
- Stapler Circumcision: Another foreskin removal surgery technique that can be more efficient but expensive because of the device and special training of the doctor involves the use of the stapling device where the doctor removes the foreskin and staples the edges of the wound.
Postoperative Care
- Standard Care: In this case, basic postoperative care measures include pain control measures, prevention of further developments of infection, and follow up on outpatient care.

- Without Insurance: Patients paying out-of-pocket will bear the full cost, which can be substantial depending on the factors mentioned.
Anesthesia

- General Anesthesia: Required for babies and younger children circumcision operation, it strongly increases the price because of necessity for an anesthesist and increased observation time.
Surgeon’s Expertise

This is because having one’s procedure performed by experienced professionals can give more confidence in the procedure’s success and prevent any complications from arising.
- General Practitioners or Less Experienced Surgeons: While some of these practitioners may charge relatively low fees, there might be compromise on experience which could imply compromise on quality service.
Geographic Location
- Urban vs. Rural: There is always increased costs of health care services in the urban area due to probably, high cost of living, remunerations for the medical staff, better equipped facilities among others.
- Local Healthcare Economy: The cost of medical services in a particular geographical location may affect the rates of circumcision. Healthcare costs across the various districts would be generally higher in the districts which have a higher cost of such procedures.
