Changes

One patient presented with a dorsal slit because of an acute infection during childhood. All of the normal preputial [[skin ]] was still present and the patient wished the [[skin ]] restored to a normal appearance. An inverted V-shaped incision was made where the dorsal slit had been and the two edges were sutured together, thus, reproducing the normal prepuce. The patient was delighted with the results. It could be that this might be an answer to some critics of circumcision. A simple dorsal slit can be performed in patients who have phimosis or severe recurrent infections. At a later date, if they wished restoration, reconstruction to the [[uncircumcised]] appearance would be simple.<ref>{{REFjournal
