==Procedure==
The procedure usually involves the removal of the [[frenulum]] or the creation of an [[incision]] in the frenulum that is then stretched to lengthen it and stitched closed. The incision can be z-shaped, y-shaped or a single horizontal cut. Once healed, the procedure effectively elongates the frenulum, allowing normal [[retraction of the foreskin]].<ref>{{REFweb

==Conclusion==
Rajan et al. (2006) surveyed patients who had received a frenuloplasty. The authors reported a high rate of satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure among the patients. Eleven percent of patients received a later circumcision.<ref name="rajan2006">{{REFjournal

Dockray et al. (2011) reported a series of 106 patients who received a frenuloplasty. They reported that frenuloplasty is a safe alternative to [[adult circumcision| circumcision]] for issues caused by [[frenulum breve]]. A small number of patients required a later [[adult circumcision]].<ref name="findlayson2011" />
