Benefits of Tight Foreskin Treatment
Circumcision is usually curative in scarred foreskin such as balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). Both circumcision and preputioplasty can be successful in treating tight foreskins that are causing recurrent infections of painful erections.

What to Expect During and After Surgery?
Knowing what happens at each stage of treatment can help you feel prepared and more at ease. Here’s what you can expect:
During Surgery
Both a circumcision and preputioplasty are performed under a short general anaesthetic with additional local anaesthetic given during the procedure. The procedures generally take about 30 minutes. In a circumcision the foreskin is removed, leaving the head of the penis exposed.
In a preputioplasty the foreskin is widened using 1-3 incisions. Both procedures are completed with dissolving stitches. Antibacterial ointment is placed over the stitches at the end of the procedure.
After Surgery
If your son undergoes a circumcision or a preputioplasty, he will be able to go home the same day. Regular simple pain relief (such as paracetamol and ibuprofen) will be required for a few days at home.
Following a preputioplasty your son will be required to pull the widened foreskin back every time he passes urine starting from a few days following his procedure. This is critical if the preputioplasty is to be successful and therefore your son’s surgeon will discuss this with you and your son in detail during the initial consultation.
