p("Circumcision is the accepted operation to treat phimosis.
However, when the purpose is to achieve retractility of a
narrow foreskin to avoid further scarring and phimotic
development after recurrent balanitis, a preputial plasty
might be sufficient. Several methods with single or multiple
incisions have been introduced throughout the years. None of
them seems to have gained general acceptance. Single plasties
tend to give cosmetically unsatisfactory results with an
apparent cleft or deformity, while the multiple ones, where
the deformity is more or less spread around the
circumference, are not always easily done, at least not in
children. Still, circumcision seems to remain the standard
procedure for preputial relief. A simple technique, where
three longitudinal incisions are transversely sutured, is
described. It has been used in a series of 63 consecutive
patients with good results, and seems to offer a good
compromise between simplicity and cosmetical demands.");
