Both Sheldon and Mogen clamps ("knife edge" clamps) have a lower incidence of bleeding than Gomco. But as Jane points out, they are applied blind and require care and experience. However in experienced hands, all methods do well. I do like the "elective cosmetic procedure on unable to consent minor" quote and would like to add it to my "minimal risk for virtually no benefit" discussion. ;-) May I?

And obviously the GP/FP is the best one to do the procedure, one doesn't need to divide the family's care to divide the foreskin, eh?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
