Forcep guided method
This method quite straight forward, but may removed too
much of shaftskin or leaving too much of mucosal skin.
Tight skin dilated, any adhesion removed. 2 artery forceps
are used to grasped the foreskin at 3 and 9 o'clock position.
The foreskin is stretched. Taking care not to catched the
glans penis, a straight long forcep is applied across the
foreskin.
Using a scalpel, incision made through the skin distal to the
straight forcep. When the forcep is released, the cut skin
retracted back with raw bleeding area inside.
Bleeding controlled by catching with forceps and ligated with
sutures. The edges approximated with absorbable sutures.
Sleeve resection method
This method can be performed on retractable foreskin. If the
foreskin is tight, it need to be dilated with forceps or dilator
instrument. Any adhesion thus removed.
A first circumscribe marking is made around the external skin
at shaft of penis, about 0.5-1cm behind the corona glans.
Another marking is made over the inner mucosa skin about
0.5 - 1cm behind the edge of corona glans.
A 'v' shaped marked is made at ventral surface for both the
external layer and internal one. The external skin is incised
deep to subcutaneous tissue around the mark. Another
incision made through the inner mucosa layer.
Thus a 'sleeve' like skin can be excised leaving raw area
between the edges from external and internal layers. The
edges then approximate after ligating the bleeding blood
vessels.
Dorsal slit method
The most common method for relieving phimosis and
paraphimosis. Required at least 2 hemostat and a fine scissor.
Before dorsal slit is made, nature and condition of foreskin
and glans penis should be determined well. A circumferential
mark is made around the foreskin at about 75% distance from
meatus to the corona glans.
The foreskin then was pulled and clamped dorsally by 2
hemostat for a short period. This can prevent active bleeding
from dorsal slit incision. An incision is made between the
hemostat and cut through the foreskin until the marking area.
The incision is continued by cutting around the marking. Make
sure not to cut the inner mucosa layer too much, otherwise
there would not be any enough mucosa skin to approximate
with the proximal part of the wound edge.
Any active bleeding is secured by artery forceps and ligated.
The frenulum is reapproximated first, as it can be a site of
problematic bleeding.
The cut edges of the foreskin are closed with multiple simple
interrupted stitches using 4-0 or 5-0 absorbable sutures.
Excess bleeding is controlled with direct pressure and
electrocautery. A sterile dressing of petroleum gauze can
then be applied over the sutures.
