Before (left) and after (right) an adult circumcision that was undertaken to treat phimosis. After the operation, the glans is exposed even when the penis is flaccid. The foreskin is the double-layered fold of tissue at the distal end of the human penis that covers the glans and the urinary meatus. [2]
Penis before and after circumcision. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin, the double-layered fold of skin, mucosal and muscular tissue at the distal end of the human penis.

[9] Circumcision devices remain on the penis for 4 to 7 days and either spontaneously detach or are removed surgically at a subsequent visit. [10]

Frenuloplasty might avoid the need for circumcision even when a clinician felt circumcision to be indicated at presentation. [3] A swelling of the penis occurs in 10–50% of patients after operation, usually lasting a few days. Reduced sensation in the glans penis is reported in 2–10% of patients. Below 2% of patients experience an infection ...
