Information about dorsal slit of foreskin from The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS)- recently published June 2017
Alternative treatment for tight foreskin
Key Points
- This is a short-stay procedure to relieve a tight foreskin
- It is sometimes used in emergency situations when the foreskin is swollen or stuck in a retracted position (paraphimosis)
- It can be used as an alternative to circumcision in patients who are unfit or are unwilling to be circumcised
- We make a single incision along the length of your foreskin to expose the head of your penis without removing any tissue
- The cosmetic appearance after the procedure is not as good as it is after circumcision
Circumcision, to remove the foreskin completely, may be needed at a later stage
