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.
One study suggests around 15–20% of men require additional circumcision after a frenuloplasty, because not all symptoms indicating the surgery improved. [3] The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) estimates this number to be lower at 2–10%. [ 4 ]
Over 90% of cases resolve by the age of seven, although full retraction is still prevented by balanopreputial adhesions in over half at this age. [ 5 ] [ 7 ] Occasionally, phimosis may be caused by an underlying condition such as scarring due to balanitis or balanitis xerotica obliterans . [ 5 ]
Men with short foreskins would wear the kynodesme to prevent exposure. [3] As a consequence of this social stigma, an early form of foreskin restoration known as epispasm was practiced among some Jews in Ancient Rome (8th century BC to 5th century AD). [4] Foreskin restoration is of ancient origin and dates back to the Alexandrian Empire (333 BC).
Due to continuous improvement of surgical techniques and modifications of implants, complication rates have dramatically decreased over time.

Circumcised penis with frenulectomy (ventral view) (circumcision procedure at birth) Frenulectomy of the penis is a surgical procedure for cutting and removal of the penile frenulum, to correct a condition known as frenulum breve.
Can an 80-year-old man get hard? The short answer is yes. But there are some reasons why it may be more difficult for older men to get aroused during stimulation than younger men.
Over time the foreskin naturally separates from the glans, and a majority of boys are able to retract the foreskin by age three. [59] Less than one percent are still having problems at age 18. [ 59 ] If the inability to do so becomes problematic (pathological phimosis) circumcision is a treatment option.
