A dorsal slit of the foreskin is performed to relieve paraphimosis strangulation of the glans or to visualize the urethral meat in patients with phimosis. Dorsal slit of the foreskin is performed to relieve the strangulation of the glans by paraphimosis or to visualize the urethral meatus in patients with phimosis In Western medicine it was used as an alternative to circumcision to relieve conditions such as failure of the foreskin to retract (phimosis) or failure to cover the glans penis (paraphimosis), although a perception of poor appearance is limited.
While it is less invasive than circumcision, it is more invasive than preputioplasty as it leaves the incision open. It is still used when circumcision or other measures are deemed impractical or undesirable.
For patients traveling outside the area, the same day consultation and circumcision procedure is convenient. Dr. Ashutosh Shah is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Surat who specializes in circumcision and circumcision revision procedures.
What is a dorsal slit circumcision?
A dorsal slit is a procedure in which a single incision is made along the top of the foreskin to relieve tightness. Unlike a full circumcision it does not remove the foreskin, so it is often used when the foreskin cannot be retracted (phimosis) or in emergencies.
Is dorsal slit circumcision painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should feel little to no pain during it. Mild soreness or swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and is usually managed with simple pain relief and basic aftercare.
How long does dorsal slit circumcision take to heal?
Most people recover within about 2 to 3 weeks. Keeping the area clean, wearing loose clothing and avoiding strenuous activity until your surgeon advises all help healing.
What is the difference between a dorsal slit and a full circumcision?
A dorsal slit only opens the foreskin to relieve tightness, whereas a full circumcision removes it. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option based on your anatomy and the reason for treatment.
