Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators will perform randomization preoperatively. participants were distributed into No Flip Group and Flip Group correspondingly according to a table of random number.
All of the procedures will be performed by a specific study surgeon in the hospital operation room. An assistant will take the pictures and recorder the parameters needed. In both groups, participants will be measured twice by a scale plate of holes, the diameter of penis with the foreskin noneverted and the diameter of exposed glans. Local anesthesia will be administered to the dorsal penile nerve using 2% lidocaine. The operation will not begin until the anesthesia is satisfied. The proper ring will be chosen according to different strategies of two groups. Participants will stay in hospital for 24 hours after operation. Pain during operation, half a hour post-operation and 24 hours will be evaluated, adverse events at hospital will be recorded carefully as well.
Participants will be advised to return usually at 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 90th post-operative days. However, if the wound does not heal completely 28 days post-operatively, the participant will be asked come to visit weekly until complete healing. All of the assessments will be performed and recorded by the lead investigator.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
No flip technique
One group of boys will undergo a circumcision with no flip technique of Shang Ring Circumcision and receive regular follow-up to evaluate pain, operation associated adverse events, wound healing time. The Shang Ring will detach spontaneously without intervention, and the participants are asked to have a visit soon after ring detached. The last scheduled follow-up visit is at 90 days.
No flip technique of Shang Ring circumcision
Measure the diameter of the penis with a scale plate of holes, the diameter of the ring was accordance with the glands, inner ring is placed into foreskin cavity, apply the outer ring on the skin covering inner ring, clamp the out ring and cut the redundant foreskin; Ring is detached spontaneously.
Flip technique
One group of boys will undergo a circumcision with flip technique of Shang Ring Circumcision and receive regular follow-up to evaluate pain, operation associated adverse events, wound healing time. The Shang Ring will be removed at 7 days, and the last scheduled follow-up visit is at 90 days.
Flip technique of Shang Ring circumcision
Measure the diameter of the penis with a scale plate of holes, the diameter of the ring was accordance with the penis, inner ring is placed around the penis, flip foreskin over the inner ring, apply the outer ring on the skin covering inner ring, clamp the out ring and cut the redundant foreskin; Remove the ring 7days postoperatively.
