In this video, Dr. Richard Greene demonstrates circumcision with the Gomco clamp. Dr. Greene is a pediatrician at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Palo Alto, California and has forty years of experience in medical practice. Because of the excellent cosmetic results he obtains with this technique, other physicians often request his services for their own family members.

In addition to lidocaine, this infant was also given 2ml PO SweetEase™  (24% sucrose and water), a common practice in our nursery for newborns undergoing painful procedures.

ERROR CORRECTION : the amount of 1% lidocaine actually administered was 0.25ml per side and not 2.5ml as stated
