Asking for Other, Male, 2 years old, Lahore
My 2 years old son need a Circumcision surgery and would like to know the process that is painless and safe for him. Does he need to get general anesthesia or not? How long the process takes and how long it takes to recover?
After 6 months of age circumcision should be done under sedation with local anesthesia. That's painless and safe
Usually general anaesthesia is not needed. At 2yrs age this procedure can be done in sedation along with local anaesthesia. Patient can be discharged within 04hrs of the procedure.

Thanks to both of you for the prompt reply. I was really hesitating to do it with general anesthesia as there are some studies that suggests the negative effects of general anesthesia on young kids.
1. How long will it take to totally recover?
2. Which method is most suitable that gives max (post surgery) comfort to the kid ?

Wound will heal roughly in 5-7 days if remained well
All methods are fine, it's the operating surgeon's practice and choice
In my opinion the Surgeon should do the method which he does in daily practice. That's the best for your child

Local Anesthesia. Plastibell method. 5 minutes
Best option would be an open technique done under minimal inhalation anesthesia.
