Update Date: Source: Network

Frenulum of prepuce surgery is a medical term, which is mainly applicable to people with pain and discomfort during sexual life, curved and deformed penis, erectile dysfunction, etc. Generally, the frenulum of prepuce does not need to be removed, as its removal may affect men's sexual quality as it is a component of sexual function, and may also lead to reduced sensitivity of the glans penis. Therefore, the frenulum of prepuce should not be removed during this type of surgery. Whether to remove the frenulum of prepuce depends on the specific situation of the patient. For patients with a short frenulum of prepuce, the frenulum may tear during sexual intercourse, which can lead to bleeding and infection even if it is not removed. Therefore, if the frenulum of prepuce is ruptured, an extension surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The surgical methods are as follows:

1. Incision: After local anesthesia, slightly push and pull the penile prepuce towards the base of the penis to expose the frenulum of the penis, and horizontally cut off the frenulum of the penis at the level of the coronal sulcus.

2. Separation of frenulum: Use a small scissors to properly separate the subcutaneous frenulum of the penis.

3. Wound hemostasis: Sew and tie the bleeding points to thoroughly stop bleeding to prevent postoperative hematoma formation.

4. Suturing the incision: Longitudinally suture the horizontally cut incision. "Z" plastic surgery can also be used to correct a short frenulum of the penis.
