The Pollock™ Technique For All Age Circumcision
Gentle Procedures Clinic is the only clinic to offer the Pollock™ Circumcision method in Queensland.
The Pollock Technique™ provides a fast, painless circumcision procedure for babies, boys, teens and adults.
Our approach is faster than conventional methods and offers improved cosmetic outcomes with faster recovery times.
All circumcision procedures are performed using long and short acting local anaesthetic along with some sedation options (age restrictions apply)
We provide a quick, convenient, and comfortable experience for patients and parents.
We never separate a parent from their child and we encouraged to stay with their son during the procedure.
For adults we recommend bringing a support person with you on the day of the procedure.
No-Scalpel, No Artificial Clip Vasectomy
At Gentle Procedures Clinic we offer a minimally invasive, single puncture no-scalpel, no artificial clips vasectomy at all of our practices in Queensland. We believe our no-scalpel vasectomy to be the most comfortable method.
How long will it take?
The procedure itself takes 20 minutes, allow 30 to 40 minutes on the day as you will have a consultation before the procedure commences.
Will it hurt?
We use a combination of pain relief, numbing cream, sedation and local anaesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. Most men report very little pain both during the procedure and post-operatively.
What do you need to do on the day of your vasectomy?
Bring your headphones to zone out while the procedure is taking place. We recommend you wear supportive underwear and loose comfortable clothing over the top. The rest of the preparation instructions will be sent to you when you book your appointment.
Adult Circumcision with Gentle Procedures Clinic Queensland
Men of all ages can be circumcised under local anaesthetic only in our Brisbane & Gold Coast clinics. Dr. Hunt applies the Pollock method to circumcision for older boys, teens, and adult men of any age.
No hospital visit is necessary and our adult clients are circumcised on an out-patient basis.
Please visit the dedicated adult circumcision information section of our site for full detail on getting circumcised at an adult age.
What is the Pollock Technique™ & how is different to other techniques?
The Pollock Technique™ for circumcision is a virtually painless method involving the use of a Mogen clamp under long-acting local anaesthetic.
The journey of a circumcision being performed using the Pollock Technique™ is vastly different to other techniques available, some of which are:
- For children, parents are encouraged to stay with their son for the entire procedure which comforts the child and is reassuring for the parents.
- Adults who feel nervous can have a support person with them at all times.
- Pain relief, numbing cream, sugar balls and local anaesthetic are used to ensure a comfortable procedure.
- The foreskin is removed at the appointment which means you do not need to wait for it to fall off.
