Preputioplasty
Preputioplasty is any plastic surgical procedure on the prepuce or foreskin.[1]
There are several different procedures. Preputioplasty typically is used to treat phimosis when manual stretching fails. Osmonov et al. (2022) have recently provided an excellent review of available procedures.[2]

Quote:Compared with circumcision, preputial plasty has few complications, and functional and cosmetic results are good, providing the prepuce is mobilized regularly after surgery.

Quote:Cuckow et al. have recently pleaded eloquently on behalf of the foreskin and recommended the operation of'preputial plasty', which they claim is a well-recognised procedure in (mainland) Europe. It should extend to the repertoire of British surgeons.

Quote:All had easily retractile foreskins at follow-up. Large numbers of patients might reasonably benefit from a lateral preputioplasty when presenting with a symptomatic phimosis in the absence of significant scarring of the prepuce. It avoids the needless loss of the foreskin, the importance of which is only now beginning to emerge.
