Male genital surgery includes corrective and reconstructive procedures performed to address concerns affecting the penis, foreskin, or surrounding tissues. Treatment may be considered for phimosis, complications following circumcision, congenital differences, buried penis, penile curvature, injury-related deformities, or other functional problems. Depending on the diagnosis, surgery may involve circumcision, tissue correction, scar revision, straightening, or reconstruction. A detailed examination is necessary to understand the concern, discuss realistic outcomes, and select an appropriate treatment approach. The objective is to improve comfort, function, hygiene, and appearance while preserving sensation and normal urinary or sexual function wherever possible.
Did you Know?
• Circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin covering the head of the penis and may be recommended for selected medical conditions. • Male genital surgery may be performed for congenital differences, injuries, scarring, functional difficulties, or complications from previous procedures. • Not every concern requires surgery, as some foreskin and skin conditions may initially be treated using medicines or other conservative approaches. • Recovery and restrictions vary considerably according to the procedure, and sexual activity must be avoided until adequate healing is confirmed.
