This is either surgical or, more recently, medical. Surgery may involve dilation, dorsal slit or circumcision. Dilation is likely to produce more scarring and make the condition worse. Dorsal slit, if not done adequately, causes scarring and recurrence. If done generously it produces an ugly foreskin with prolapse of the inner preputial layer, to produce a penis that looks neither circumcised nor uncircumcised.
Circumcision is the best surgical procedure for phimosis.
It is definitive and final. It is a good operation when performed for good reasons. In addition he fails to discuss the several preputioplasty surgical procedures described in the literature in recent years for the relief of phimosis. The benefits claimed for these procedures are an easier recovery and retention of the tissue of the foreskin and the preservation of its functions. It must be applied to the tip of the prepuce regularly, at least three times a day for about one month.
