At what age?
Circumcision can be performed in the first months of life as well as in older children. The most suitable age is decided during the consultation, according to the child's health and the family's wishes.

Child circumcision
Performed by a paediatric surgeon, circumcision is carried out under hygiene and safety conditions suited to the child's age.
Also known as: « tahour » (طهور) in Tunisia
How does the procedure go?
A prior consultation allows the child to be examined and the procedure explained. It is quick, done under suitable anaesthesia, and the child usually goes home the same day with simple care instructions.
This information is general and does not replace a consultation: every child is assessed individually.
