Frenuloplasty is an alternative to circumcision for frenular issues.<ref name="findlayson2011" /> Avoidance of circumcision and the preservation of the foreskin and its numerous protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual physiological functions is a major advantage of frenuloplasty.
==Procedure==
Another reason for the treatment is to correct a rare complication of a frenulum breve which presents as scars on the frenulum, these scars cause pain and make normal sex very difficult and are caused by the rubbing of the frenulum whilst engaging in sexual activity. These scars only effect those with [[frenulum breve]]. The frenuloplasty can be conducted under either general or local anesthesia.
==Conclusion==
Dockray ''et al''. (2011) reported a series of 106 patients who received a preputioplasty. They report that preputioplasty is a safe alternative to [[circumcision]] for issues caused by frcnulum breve. A small number of patients required a later circumcision.<ref name="findlayson2011" />
