Penile frenuloplasty, also referred to as frenulotomy or frenulectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes or reconstructs the frenulum of the penis. The frenulum is a small tissue band that connects the foreskin to the underside of the glans.
If the frenulum is too short or tight, it can cause discomfort during sexual activity or make it difficult to retract the foreskin.
There is no special preparation needed for Frenuloplasty.
If you are undergoing the circumcision as well, make sure to shave the pubic area thoroughly beforehand. This helps reduce the risk of infection, as pubic hair can increase this risk.
