Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Boys with phimosis (tight foreskin) can undergo preputial plasty or circumcision.
  • Preputial scarring is a contraindication for preputial plasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes and parental satisfaction of preputial plasty versus circumcision in boys.
  • To evaluate the morbidity and long-term results of both surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative audit of 50 boys undergoing preputial plasty and 50 boys undergoing circumcision.
  • Parental questionnaires assessing complications, recovery, and satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Circumcision group: 20% overnight stay, 14% anesthetic complications, 6% reoperation for bleeding.

  • Preputial plasty group: 8% overnight stay, no bleeding, lower morbidity and shorter duration.
  • 4% of preputial plasty patients experienced recurrent narrowing; parents were satisfied with long-term results for both procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Preputial plasty is a simple, effective alternative to circumcision with excellent cosmetic outcomes.
    • Preputial plasty preserves foreskin function and offers significantly lower morbidity compared to circumcision.
