Lv et al. present a newly designed disposable circumcision device. The device cuts the foreskin and closes the skin edges with staples simultaneously. Their results suggest a fast operating time, low complication rate, and high patient satisfaction. This device is easy to operate and can be used with local anesthesia alone. In an age when several African countries consider mass circumcision to reduce HIV transmission rates,2＇3 physicians have been looking for a simple and safe circumcision method that can easily be taught to others.
