Dorsal slit of foreskin- alternative treatment
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
