Dr. Li Mingchuan
Preparations for pediatric phimosis surgery mainly include washing the genital area daily with warm water for three days prior to the procedure, thoroughly removing smegma. Additionally, routine preoperative examinations should be performed, and surgery should only proceed if no abnormalities are found. It is also important to calm the child's emotions before surgery to prevent excessive anxiety and tension.
