Purpose:

  • To evaluate the five-year outcomes of postectomy for phimosis.
  • To compare postectomy benefits against circumcision.

Summary:

  • Postectomy repairs preputial stenosis while preserving the prepuce and frenulum.
  • This technique offers an alternative to circumcision, maintaining natural penile protection.

Impact:

  • Provides evidence for postectomy as a beneficial alternative to circumcision.
  • Informs surgical decisions for managing phimosis.
