    AbstractCircumcision is a simple operation often performed under general anaesthesia. In this study, we assessed the suitability of local anaesthesia in 38 adult patients, 79.4% of whom suffered little or no discomfort. Infiltration of local anaesthesia caused moderate pain in 10 patients (29.4%) and severe pain in only one. The circumcision itself caused moderate pain in three patients and severe pain in another three (8.8%); 85% of patients expressed complete satisfaction.
