Some residual swelling after stapler circumcision is common and can persist for a few weeks even after the staples have fallen off. The donut-shaped swelling is typically due to lymphedema or tissue reaction at the surgical site and usually resolves on its own over time. However, if the swelling is increasing, painful, or accompanied by discharge or fever, it is advisable to consult your doctor for an evaluation.

Yes it happens often. It is temporary and usually resolves on its own over time. It is not a cause for concern.
