What Is Partial Circumcision?
Partial circumcision can refer to a number of different types of circumcision procedures that can be performed. In general, partial circumcision refers to procedures that aim to remove less foreskin rather than more skin, or less than what is typically removed. Partial circumcision can refer to a typical, traditional circumcision that can be performed with removal of less skin; partial circumcision with the removal of less skin is a variation of “loose circumcision” technique.
Partial circumcision can also refer to preputioplasty and to dorsal slit procedure.
Who Can Undergo Partial Circumcision?
Partial circumcision can be performed on a man or child of any age. Partial circumcision can be performed either in the office under local anesthesia with minimal pain or discomfort or in the operating room under general anesthesia.
What Are the Limitations of Partial Circumcision?
In patients with phimosis or balanitis of the foreskin of the penis, the diseased skin with scar needs to be removed in order to fix the underlying problem. The minimum amount of skin that needs to be removed is the skin that has a phimotic ring in men or children with phimosis.
For men who have recurrent inflammation of the foreskin (balanitis), the moist environment within the foreskin causes infection to recur. To prevent the recurrence of balanitis, the foreskin needs to be removed so that it does not overhang over the glans.
Typical symptoms of balanitis include inflammation over the glans of the penis and foreskin, redness, pain, and small skin lacerations. Phimosis or inability to pull back foreskin is a common side effect of balanitis. When antifungal cream does not help or fungal balanitis recurs, circumcision is a good treatment option.
What are the Advantages of Partial Circumcision?
There are no known benefits to partial circumcision compared to traditional circumcision. No studies have been performed to compare partial circumcision techniques to traditional circumcision either for patients with phimosis or balanitis or for men who seek circumcision for hygienic reasons.
Studies show that most men do not have any change in sensation after a traditional circumcision. Traditional circumcision does not affect erections or ejaculation. In my clinical experience treating many men with circumcision, few if any men who had a circumcision performed for aesthetic or hygienic reasons have complained about a change in sensation. Men who had lifelong phimosis or recurrent balanitis typically experience significant improvement in the quality of life after a traditional circumcision.
Some men, for various reasons, want to retain as much skin as possible and partial circumcision can be performed upon request. Unless a patient has a strong preference for partial circumcision technique, we usually recommend a traditional circumcision approach or ShangRing circumcision, which results in similar outcomes.
What are the Risks and Side Effects of Partial Circumcision?
Typically, the risks and side effects of partial circumcision are similar to what men experience after a traditional circumcision. In addition, incomplete removal of the skin can sometimes cause irritation or swelling of the residual skin and may necessitate additional treatment such as revision and completion of partial circumcision.
How is Partial Circumcision Performed?
At New York Urology Specialists, partial circumcision can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and the patient is able to go back home shortly thereafter. Most men are able to return to work in the usual activities the same or the next day. Recovery after partial circumcision is the same as after traditional circumcision.
