Dorsal slit is now rare in Western countries as a treatment for phimosis. Standard guidelines suggest conservative approaches first and, should those fail, either circumcision or preputioplasty to both retain the foreskin and relieve the phimosis.
Preputioplasty or prepuce plasty, also known as limited dorsal slit with transverse closure, is a plastic surgical operation on the prepuce or foreskin of the penis, [1] to widen a narrow non-retractile foreskin which cannot comfortably be drawn back off the head of the penis in erection because of a constriction which has not expanded after adolescence.
The Plastibell plastic ring is placed under the foreskin and secured with a circumferential ligature, which prevents bleeding when the distal foreskin is excised. The entire procedure takes five to ten minutes. [18] The ring falls off after 4 to 7 days, leaving a circumferential wound that heals by secondary intention in one to two weeks.
Neck ring – multiple neck rings or spiral are worn to give the effect of stretching the neck (in reality lowering the collarbones) [1] Tattooing – injection of a pigment under the skin; Teeth blackening [2] Eye tattooing – injection of a pigment into the sclera
Preputioplasty, in which a limited dorsal slit with transverse closure is made along the constricting band of skin, [40] can be an effective alternative to circumcision. [21] It has the advantage of only limited pain and a short healing duration relative to circumcision, while also avoiding cosmetic effects. [40]
Orthopedic implant example seen with X-ray. An orthopedic implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing joint or bone, or to support a damaged bone. [1] The medical implant is mainly fabricated using stainless steel and titanium alloys for strength and the plastic coating that is done on it acts as an artificial cartilage. [2]
The practitioner then places the circumcision device (this sometimes requires a dorsal slit), which remains until blood flow has stopped. Finally, the foreskin is amputated. [1] For older babies and adults, circumcision is often performed surgically without specialized instruments, [37] and alternatives such as Unicirc or the Shang ring are ...
