Phimosis surgery is the removal of an excessively long foreskin, which involves making a straight incision at the back of the penis and then cutting a circle of excess foreskin horizontally. Circumcision surgery is currently considered a minor surgery, but it is always necessary to avoid surgical damage. Some postoperative complications still need to be noted!
If the circumcision surgery fails, it may cause disharmony in sexual life, but under normal circumstances, there is no problem. If the circumcision surgery is done well, there are no sequelae. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for surgery.
What are the possible sequelae of unsuccessful circumcision surgery?
1. Improper circumcision: Excessive circumcision can affect penile erection after surgery, and in severe cases, skin grafting can be performed to correct it. Too little circumcision, and the foreskin still wraps around the glans penis after surgery. If there is no difficulty in flipping the foreskin upwards, it can be frequently flipped and cleaned; If the patient is still dissatisfied with the reversal or is still repeatedly infected, circumcision can be performed again.
2. Phimosis at the frenulum: Excessive skin retention at the frenulum, tight wrapping, prolonged standing or walking on the same day after surgery, etc. If there is edema in the frenulum of the foreskin, the bandage should be loosened and the head of the penis should be moved to the abdominal side, supported by a "T" strap, antibiotics should be used to prevent infection, and physical therapy should be used.
3. Bleeding: It is often caused by incomplete hemostasis during surgery or loose ligature. The most common site of bleeding is the superficial dorsal vein of the penis and the frenulum of the foreskin. Hemorrhage from the superficial dorsal vein of the penis can easily form a hematoma, and bleeding from the frenulum of the foreskin often results in blood flowing out of the wound, which can also form a hematoma under the skin. If this symptom occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
4. Infection: Failure to effectively control inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis before surgery, incorrect circumcision for incarcerated phimosis, lack of attention to aseptic or rough surgical procedures, and postoperative urine contamination of the wound can all lead to incision infection. After infection occurs, some sutures should be removed to ensure smooth drainage, rest in bed, and use antibiotics.
