The study aimed to compare Conventional dissection circumcision and Plastibell device circumcision in terms of mean duration of surgery. Study design: Quasi-Experimental Study. Place and duration of study: Eleven months from January 10, 2021, to December 10, 2021, in the Department of General Surgery, Nescom Hospital. Methodos: Subjects were randomly divided equally into two groups. Group A included 40 patients who underwent conventional dissection circumcision, and group B included 40 patients who underwent Plastibell circumcision. Operative time was noted in minutes in both groups. Results: Mean operative time found in Group A was 14.25 min ± 1.92 SD, and for Group B, it was 4.88 min ± 0.73 SD (P<0.05). Conclusion: Circumcision by plastic bell device method resulted in a significant reduction in operating time compared to conventional circumcision technique. This technique could be adopted on a routine basis to lessen the burden on the busy operation theater schedule.
