Does circumcision cut the tether?



Circumcision generally refers to circumcision, and whether or not the tether will be cut needs to be judged based on the patient’s own anatomical characteristics. The specific judgment is as follows.

1. If the patient’s tether exceeds the coronal sulcus too much and is closely connected to the anterior foreskin, then circumcision will cut part of the tether.

2. If the patient’s tether is located behind the coronal sulcus and is not tightly connected to the anterior foreskin, then circumcision does not need to remove the tether.

3. In some patients, the tethered cord is too short, which makes it difficult to move the foreskin back, and in these patients, the tethered cord needs to be cut during circumcision.

To sum up, whether circumcision needs to cut the ligament needs to observe the anatomical characteristics of the patient’s ligament, and it is recommended that the patient consults with the relevant specialists, and under the guidance and comprehensive judgment of the specialists to carry out the treatment.
