	PlastiBell is often described to parents as a non-cutting method. However, a dorsal slit (cut) is often performed at the beginning of the installation to make it easier to install. Once installed, the PlastiBell cuts circulation to the foreskin, necrotizing the tissue, which will fall off in a few days (or it might be 'trimmed' after installing the PlastiBell). The result is the same: the amputation of a healthy foreskin.		PlastiBell is often described to parents as a non-cutting method.

Once installed, the PlastiBell cuts circulation to the [[foreskin]], necrotizing the tissue, which will fall off in a few days (or it might be 'trimmed' after installing the PlastiBell). The result is the same: the amputation of a healthy, functional foreskin.
