We performed circumcision with stitches, glue, or a stapler in London. Circumcision performed in adults remains a safe surgical option under local anaesthesia in a dedicated clinical setting. Dr Khan is an expert in methods of circumcision, such as sleeve, glue, freehand, forceps guided practice, dorsal slit, revision, or redo circumcision.
Glue circumcision is the best option for older boys and adults. We offer next-generation ZSR staplers for adult circumcision.
The penile frenulum release is a surgical treatment for a short penile frenulum. It divides the skin and re-stitching it lengthwise. Frenulectomy or frenuloplasty surgery allows you to retain your foreskin while keeping the area clean underneath.
Y-V preputioplasty is simply a foreskin-releasing procedure. An incision is made on either side of the foreskin to widen it, thus allowing full retraction. The benefit of preputioplasty is that it retains the foreskin and cures tight foreskin. However, the foreskin looks like a fish mouth appearance.
Redo or revision of circumcision changes the adult's life, worried about the scarring from a previous botched circumcision. Many adults who have been circumcised in childhood or later in life are unhappy with the appearance of scarring on their penis. Re-circumcision is an option available. Problems from previous circumcisions are uneven skin, stitch tunnels, scarred frenulum, and excessive and uneven circumcision scars. Excess scarring can easily be fixed and cured in our clinic.
Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO) is a thin, white, wrinkled patch that appears on the foreskin. It can be troublesome if not treated. BXO causes tight foreskin in older children and adults. It is also known as lichen sclerosis atrophicus, Csillag's, or white spot disease. BXO is a disease affecting uncircumcised or circumcised males, ranging from young boys to adolescents and adults. It is the most common cause of tightening of the foreskin, called BXO phimosis.
Penoscrotal webbing is a condition characterised by an abnormal fold of skin that connects the lower part of the penis to the scrotum. This skin fold can obscure the visibility of the base of the penis beneath the penile surface. Typically, the skin and associated tissue attach correctly, producing an angle between the penis and the scrotum. However, in cases of penoscrotal webbing, this angle is absent, resulting in a shortened appearance of the penis.
Our London clinic offers penoscrotal webbing repair under local anaesthesia for a competitive price of £1,350. We use dissolvable skin stitches with glue, so there is no need for stitch removal. However, any procedure carries certain risks, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and possible revision.
Phimosis can be treated in many ways. Alternatives to full circumcision include excision of the frenulum, a V-Y or Z plasty operation called preputioplasty, frenuloplasty, partial circumcision, or medical treatments. These are personal preferences that can be discussed further with Dr. Khan. Many of the benefits of circumcision are for men.
Tight foreskin in adolescence or adulthood may evoke fear of pain, sexual pain, a torn foreskin, or reduced sexual pleasure. A tight foreskin may be due to Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO) scarring, requiring steroid cream, a biopsy, and circumcision.
