V- Y Frenuloplasty.
What is V-Y Frenuloplasty?
V-Y Frenuloplasty is an advanced surgical technique used to treat a short or tight penile frenulum (Frenulum Breve). In this procedure, a V-shaped incision is made on the frenulum, which is then closed in a Y-shape. This helps in lengthening the frenulum and reducing tightness.
The main goal of this procedure is to improve comfort during erections, prevent tearing, and restore normal foreskin movement.
When is V-Y Frenuloplasty Recommended?
V-Y Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended for patients who experience:
- Short or tight frenulum (Frenulum Breve)
- Pain during erection
- Difficulty retracting foreskin
- Recurrent frenulum tearing or bleeding
- Discomfort during sexual activity
- Downward pulling of the glans during erection
A proper examination is required to confirm whether this technique is suitable.
How V-Y Frenuloplasty Works
In this procedure, a V-shaped incision is made at the tight frenulum area. The tissue is then carefully repositioned and closed in a Y-shape. This surgical modification helps lengthen the frenulum without removing the foreskin.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and completed as a daycare surgery.
