==Penis frenectomy==
A frenectomy can be performed to remove the frenulum from the penis, which is a treatment for [[frenulum breve]] or frenular chordee.<ref name="pmid2305537Griffin-Kroovand1990"/> This is a form of [[Genital frenectomy (disambiguation)|genital frenectomy]]. The frenulum may be cut when a male is circumcised. This may also reduce the size of the [[http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/mcgrath1/ frenular delta]]. The frenulum was reported to be cut in 26.7%, 20%, and 33.33% of circumcised patients in various surveys.<ref name="pmid2305537Griffin-Kroovand1990"/><ref name="pmid10733391Gary2000"/>
