Abstract:
Circumcision is overperformed in the United Kingdom. An alternative procedure, dorsal incision of the prepuce, was performed in 40 boys whose foreskins were nonretractable and showed a tight preputial band on retraction at operation with no scarring. The procedure was quick, simple, and effective at producing a retractable foreskin. A good cosmetic result was achieved. There were no complications in this group of patients. The procedure is recommended as an alternative to circumcision.
