Cepeda-Emiliani et al (2023) state: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
One circumcision technique [91] has been proposed to protect | |||
as much tissue as possible ventrally due to the sexual functions | |||
attributed to this region. Concerningly and antithetically to the | |||
former technique, the frenular area has been intentionally | |||
targeted during [[adult circumcision]] by some urologists in | |||
the belief that its total and permanent denervation using | |||
monopolar current might be a definitive treatment for lifelong | |||
premature ejaculation. These urologists concluded that | |||
their circumcision technique resulted in “a consistent reduction | |||
in penile sensitivity” and “is a strong weapon in the hands of | |||
urological surgeons, which must be used very carefully, as its | |||
effects on male sexuality can be devastating and irreversible | |||
if performed in the wrong patient. Thus, the caveat must be | |||
right circumcision in the right patient using the correct | |||
surgical technique’”. To the extent that | |||
this type of circumcision may impair sexual function by | |||
denervating a neurologically permissive substrate through which | |||
sexual sensation enters the central nervous system, we agree | |||
with Jannini [93] that denervation of the frenular region is a | |||
potentially dangerous intervention.<ref>{{REFjournal | |||
