Triple incision to treat phimosis in children: an alternative to circumcision.

BJU international·2004

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Limited understanding of normal preputial development leads to inappropriate circumcision referrals.
  • Phimosis management often involves circumcision, but conservative options are being explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of lateral preputioplasty as a conservative treatment for symptomatic phimosis.
  • To assess patient outcomes and satisfaction following preputioplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients referred with phimosis.
  • Patients with phimosis and scarring were considered for circumcision.
  • Patients with narrowed foreskins, recurrent balanitis, or local symptoms underwent lateral preputioplasty.
  • Patients with phimosis but no local symptoms were reassured and discharged.

Main Results:

  • Thirty patients underwent lateral preputioplasty.
  • One patient experienced a wound infection requiring antibiotics and later circumcision.
  • The remaining 29 patients reported no post-operative issues, good cosmetic results, and high satisfaction.
  • All patients achieved easily retractable foreskins post-procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Lateral preputioplasty is a beneficial, conservative surgical approach for symptomatic phimosis without significant preputial scarring.
  • This technique avoids unnecessary foreskin removal and results in high patient satisfaction.
  • Preputioplasty offers a viable alternative to circumcision in select patient populations.
