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. This condition prevents the full retraction of the foreskin with or without an erection. [1]
The frenulum of the penis, often known simply as the frenulum (from Latin: frēnulum, lit.

The frenulum should normally be sufficiently ...
