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
