    paedriatric surgeon recommendations...circumscision gone wrong

    Hi All,

    We got our son circumcised in december (5 months old, done outside HK. please dont comment on the ethtics of circumcision as its something that has already been done). They didnt removed the foreskin properly and now it can grown and reattached . We saw Dr jennifer sihoe who mentioned that it needs to be fixed now through an circumcision.
    The operation, she said, will be under general anaesthesia as 6 months old move.

    I am very concerned about getting it done under general anaesthesia. Do you know of a great doctor in hk who specialises in paedritric and especially complex cases of circumcisions (and preferebly can do under local anaesthesia)

    thanks a lot for your help

    You could try Dr John Ngan. He's urologist and one of his specialities is paediatric urology surgery.

    Address: Suite 631, Central Building, Pedder Street, Central

    Perhaps also posted the question on geobaby.com. There may be more experience in the matter there than here.

    I think the most important question is would he be still for a local anaesthetic in that sensitive area and also be still enough for the docs to operate. My son had an extra tooth. We were told that a local anaesthic would not be possible as he would be wriggling too much- he was 6 at the time
