Have you performed any partial circumcisions?  Would you kindly provide any photos of this procedure and the efficacy of this procedure to alleviate phimosis.   Seth

Thanks

• Good morning Seth,

Yes, I have done several partial circumcisions.

Recovery is a lot longer because difficult to apply a compressive dressing without hindering urination and daily hygiene.  A lot more swelling.

example 8/1 is such a result.

Best wishes for a restful weekend,

I am a 48 year old, uncircumcised man (born in the UK, have lived in the US since I was a kid). My foreskin is tight. I was evaluated for a circ a few years ago, but chickened out. And, frankly, I kind of want to keep my foreskin. I have  read about preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin. Does anyone have experience with this or knowledge of the procedure.   

Hi Jay (hope I have your first name correct),

We have done preputioplasty which essentially involves making a longitudinal incision to open a tight preputial ring and this is closed transversely. Cosmetically this leaves a little to be desired, but you get to keep your foreskin. Another option is a limited circumcision, but my opinion is that if the skin is scarified, all involved skin needs to be removed, as you will be back for a touch up, or perhaps treatment of BXO. You don’t need surgery on the installment plan.

Sincerely,

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.
