Sensation difference low vesus high cut adult circumcision

June 29, 2010

Just curious to know if there is a difference in sensation from a low cut to a high cut , do nerves in your opinion really rechannel themselves. Take care, Antonio

Good morning Antonio,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Regarding high or low cut, there is no known difference in sensation leading to “mean ejaculatory latency time, MELT.”   After all is said and done MELT is the best indicator of sensation.   Yes, in the penis a lot of experience has shown that distal nerves do regenerate.  Not to worry.

When I perform a circumcision I am well above the layer of the neuro-vascular bundle.

We have performed over 6000 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week.

With kindest regards,
