Tok Mudim



Tok Mudim is a malay word for a person who performed circumcision.
Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis. The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and cædere (meaning "to cut").

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global estimates suggest that 30% of males are circumcised, of whom 68% are Muslim. The prevalence of circumcision varies mostly with religious affiliation, and sometimes culture. Most circumcisions are performed during adolescence for cultural or religious reasons; in some countries they are more commonly performed during infancy.

There are many ways of doing circumcision. I prefer the "dorsal slit" technique as it's the most safest.

Now, lets have a look at this technique..

The patient.


Cleaning the area.


Draping (covering with green towel) and giving local anaesthesia (bius setempat).


Graping the foreskin with forceps.


This is the dorsal slit technique. The foreskin is cut at the dorsal part (bahagian atas penis).


Cutting around the foreskin.


Stitching back the skin.


Procedure completed.

It's took me about an hour to complete the procedure...a bit slow from the experts. I'm doing slow as i just want to make sure that this boy do not end up any complications later.
