A '''frenuloplasty of prepuce of penis''' (also known as a '''release of frenulum''') is a [[frenuloplasty]] of the [[frenulum]].

An abnormally short or sensitive [[frenulum]] of the [[penis]] can make some types of sexual activity uncomfortable or even painful. This may be a complication of circumcision or a naturally occurring event. When it is a naturally occurring event, a short frenulum can restrict normal retraction of the [[foreskin]] during [[erection]], (a condition known as [[frenulum breve]]). The goal of treatment is to allow normal retraction of the [[foreskin]]. [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| Circumcision]] may relieve this condition but is not indicated solely for treating [[frenulum breve]].<ref name="findlayson2011">{{REFjournal

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