The natural foreskin is composed of smooth dartos muscle tissue (called the peripenic muscle [16]), large blood vessels, extensive innervation, outer skin, and inner mucosa. [17] The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision, as well as provide coverage of the glans.
There are several different varieties of tapeless restoration devices commercially available. Some silicone devices have an opening for a one-way air valve and a hand pump for inflating the foreskin. This expands the foreskin from within, creating skin tension and growth. Silicon device with one-way air valve, inflating the foreskin from inside.
In some cases the foreskin may become swollen as a result of paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans) or other conditions such as severe balanitis. Should reduction of the swelling by conservative methods be unsuccessful, a dorsal slit is a common intervention of choice since circumcision is almost always excluded in such cases.
During the procedure “the baby is generally held down for this using a ‘circumstraint,’ or circumcision restraint board,” he says. The circumstraint has Velcro straps to hold the baby ...
The most commonly-done procedure is in actuality not a circumcision but a dorsal slit, where no foreskin is actually removed. When the foreskin is removed, it is commonly known locally as a "German cut" in reference to the introduction of the modern surgical technique by the founder of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Johann Friedrich ...
Fig 4. Penis with the loosened foreskin replaced over the glans. Surgical methods range from the complete removal of the foreskin to more minor operations to relieve foreskin tightness: Dorsal slit (superincision) is a single incision along the upper length of the foreskin from the tip to the corona, exposing the glans without removing any tissue.
Frenulectomy of the penis is a surgical procedure for cutting and removal of the penile frenulum, to correct a condition known as frenulum breve. This condition prevents the full retraction of the foreskin with or without an erection. [1] It is a simple and normally painless procedure that is performed in a urologist's office.
Circumcision is a procedure that removes the foreskin from the human penis. In the most common form of the operation, the foreskin is extended with forceps, then a circumcision device may be placed, after which the foreskin is excised. Topical or locally injected anesthesia is generally used to reduce pain and physiologic stress. [1]
