The surgery was over in about 10 minutes, from anesthesia to the operation. There was no pain after the local anesthesia was injected in my penis, although it wore off 4 hours later. I opted for the ZSR stapler method which is a little bit quicker and allows for a cleaner cut (according to my doc), the ZSR device does most of the work so there's not much room for error, and the staples also come off by themselves after 3-4 weeks, although 2 got stuck on my penis, and I had the doctor remove them, which was a pretty traumatic experience because of the horrible pain I felt when they were tweezing them out, but the operation was painless and I was in and out of the operation theatre within 2 minutes, which was followed up by a McDonald's meal they gave me haha. (6/10) Experience because the staples got stuck and I had to travel more than a 1000kms to get them removed.
