Introduction
Circumcision is a common treatment for phimosis or redundant prepuce. In most cases, excessive removal of the foreskin does not occur during circumcision, although it is possible. During the procedure, the surgeon removes an appropriate length of foreskin based on the individual patient's condition. However, the amount of foreskin removed is determined through professional assessment by the physician and generally is not excessive.
Circumcision is a common treatment for conditions such as redundant prepuce or phimosis. Generally, circumcision does not involve excessive removal of the foreskin, but this can occasionally happen. The details are as follows:
1. Not likely: During circumcision, the surgeon removes an appropriate length of foreskin based on the individual patient's condition. The amount of foreskin removed is determined through professional assessment by the doctor and is typically precise. Prior to the procedure, the doctor conducts a thorough evaluation and examination, including assessing the length and tightness of the foreskin, as well as the patient’s personal needs. Based on this information, the surgeon develops a surgical plan and performs accurate tissue excision during the operation.
2. Possible: However, there remains some risk during surgery, and in rare cases, excessive foreskin may be removed. Therefore, when choosing a surgeon, it is recommended to select an experienced and qualified professional to minimize surgical risks.
If you have further questions, please consult a medical professional.
