Phimosis and preputioplasty (limited circumcision) requested

Thank you for your interest in what we do, over 5,500 procedures relating to circumcisions and/or phimosis.    Kevin

Good morning Kevin,

Please keep this in mind, if you have a phimosis, all unhealthy non-stretching tissue has to be removed or you will need a dorsal slit.   If you have scarred prepuce left, that will not retract over the rim of the glans for daily hygiene.  What you may wind up with could resemble a partial circumcision.  Also keep in mind the remaining prepuce normally swells quite a bit after surgery, and you will need a Q-tip for a few weeks to cleanse the inner recessed area.    But yes, it can be done.
