Circumcision : Preputioplasty
What is Preputioplasty?
Preputioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat a tight foreskin (phimosis) without removing it completely. It is a less invasive alternative to circumcision, aimed at preserving the foreskin while improving its function.
Who Needs Preputioplasty?
This procedure is suitable for individuals experiencing:
- Phimosis (tight foreskin that cannot retract fully)
- Discomfort or difficulty with hygiene due to a tight foreskin
- Those who prefer a foreskin-preserving alternative to circumcision
How is Preputioplasty Performed?
Preputioplasty is a minor surgical procedure that involves making small incisions on the foreskin to relieve tightness while maintaining its structure. The key steps include:
-
Local or General Anesthesia – The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be used in certain cases.
-
Small Incisions – A few small, longitudinal cuts are made on the narrow part of the foreskin.
-
Widening the Opening – The incisions are then sutured transversely to allow for greater foreskin mobility.
-
Minimal Recovery Time – The sutures dissolve naturally, and healing occurs within a few weeks.
Stapler for Preputioplasty?
- Faster Procedure: Reduces surgical time compared to manual suturing.
- Minimized Bleeding: Staplers often provide better hemostasis.
- Precise Results: Uniform incision and closure for improved aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- Quicker Healing: May facilitate faster recovery due to minimal tissue trauma.
Benefits of Preputioplasty
- Foreskin Preservation – Retains the natural structure and function of the foreskin. How much is left is dependant on requirement and possibility. its important to assess the amount of tight phimotic ring present in each individual case
- Less Invasive – Requires minimal surgical intervention compared to circumcision.
- Quicker Recovery – Healing is faster with reduced discomfort.
- Lower Risk of Complications – Fewer chances of infection, bleeding, or scarring.
- Improved Hygiene & Comfort – Resolves phimosis-related hygiene issues without full foreskin removal.
Recovery and Aftercare

- Proper hygiene and gentle washing are recommended to prevent infection.
- Avoid sexual activity / mastrubation and strenuous exercises for about 3 months ensure proper healing. Applicable to open surgery or stapler surgery
- Follow-up consultations may be necessary to monitor progress.

As a part of my job, I used to visit all major cities in AP & TG. During a recent visit(12th Dec)to Guntur, I suffered a severe burn injury after accidentally pouring hot water on my leg😢. On a colleague MR. GOPI recommendation🤝, I consulted Dr. G.S. Sathish Kumar, a highly qualified and dedicated plastic surgeon. Dr. Sathish Kumar promptly provided primary treatment, effectively controlling the pain and burning sensation within an half an hour. By evening, the burn site was cleaned, and further treatment was initiated.The well-trained paramedical staff ensured excellent care throughout, and I was discharged the next day (In my interest only stayed one day) with clear instructions and medications. Dr. Sathish Kumar’s expertise and compassionate approach made a significant difference.Having such a highly professional doctor (Plastic Surgeon) is truly a blessing for Guntur. Thank you, Dr. Sathish Kumar, for your exceptional care.🙏
