A Randomized Controlled Trial of Open Surgical vs. Minimally-invasive Voluntary Adult Male Circumcision

This proposed randomized controlled trial will provide important data which will inform and enable the Mozambican government and global health programs to more effectively scale-up circumcision services. The investigators postulate that voluntary medical male circumcision using the Gomco clamp coupled with tissue adhesive meets WHO criteria for the ideal method: it is much easier to learn, faster, safer for both surgeons and patients, heals sooner, and is more cost effective than any other currently available technique.
