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. Circumcision may relieve this condition but is not indicated solely for treating [[frenulum breve]].<ref name="findlayson2011">{{REFjournal
