Purse string suture: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The foreskin can [also] be tightened by a simple purse-string suture (transverse incision with vertical suturing or a circumferential purse-string suture), where a continuous stitch is made around the tip of the foreskin and then pulled tight, drawing it closed in somewhat the same way the frenar band works in a natural [[foreskin]].

The foreskin can [also] be tightened by a simple purse-string suture (transverse [[incision]] with vertical suturing or a circumferential purse-string suture), where a continuous stitch is made around the tip of the foreskin and then pulled tight, drawing it closed in somewhat the same way the frenar band works in a natural [[foreskin]].

The suture will dissolve after about six weeks. During this period the body reacts to the suture as a foreign object and begins to grow [[skin]] tissue around the suture. This is the same thing that happens with body piercings such as a simple ear piercing. The body reacts by making a [[skin]] tube around the foreign object so it is no longer inside the body.Even though the suture dissolves the [[skin]] tube will remain.
