What is Known:

• Male circumcision is a painful procedure and it is frequently performed with inappropriate analgesic methods.

• A gold standard practice in analgesia during male circumcision is still lacking and there is a great variability in the modus operandi between centers.

What is New:

• The combination of RB + EMLA + sucrose appears to be an analgesic strategy superior to other approaches.

• We advocate for the integration of sensorial saturation during male circumcision in order to improve the efficacy of current analgesic practices.
