Revision of posthectomy (circumcision)
What if the result of a circumcision is unsatisfactory? Posthectomy, or circumcision, involves removing all or part of the foreskin. In some cases, further surgery is necessary to correct unsatisfactory postoperative results: excess or insufficient skin, an unsightly scar, functional impairment, or a specific complication such as webbing of the penis. The main indications: Excess residual skin : giving the impression of an incomplete circumcision. Excessive retraction of the foreskin : skin tension, discomfort, pain. Irregular or unsightly scar . Troublesome or painful skin adhesions . Webbing of the penis : scrotal skin extending too high up the penis, giving a “buried” appearance and reducing the visible length of the penis. Persistent pain or bothersome hypersensitivity . Focus: Webbing of the penis. Webbing refers to an abnormal fusion of skin between the scrotum and the base of the penis , sometimes accentuated or revealed after a circumcision. It can cause penile shortening. It sometimes leads to functional discomfort during intercourse (skin pulling, discomfort) or difficulty putting on a condom. Treatment is surgical and consists of correctly reshaping the base of the penis and scrotum to restore a harmonious anatomy. The result is generally stable and satisfactory, with a marked improvement in appearance and comfort.

Procedure for an intervention
Revision circumcision is a procedure that must be personalized according to the patient’s situation and expectations. Preoperative planning : During the consultation, a thorough examination is performed, possibly with medical photographs or explanatory diagrams . These help to clarify the problem (excess skin, scar, webbing of the penis, etc.) and to clearly define the aesthetic and functional objective. Patient discussion and agreement : The areas to be corrected and the expected result are validated with the patient, so that the procedure meets their expectations after a period of reflection. Surgical technique : The surgeon adapts the procedure:
- Skin remodeling,
- Scar correction,
- Specific treatment of webbing (redesigning the angle between the penis and the scrotum).

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What complications can occur after a circumcision?
Possible complications include an unsightly or retracted scar, excess or insufficient skin, adhesions, a residual short frenulum, urethral meatus stenosis, or altered sensation of the glans. Most can be corrected.
Can a botched circumcision be corrected?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Revision surgery allows for the removal of adhesions, the harmonization of the scar, the correction of asymmetry, or the treatment of meatal stenosis. The technique depends on the problem identified during the examination.
When should I consult a doctor after a circumcision?
Seek urgent medical attention in case of persistent bleeding, infection, or intense pain. For longer periods, consult a doctor if the scar is painful, unsightly, if the skin feels tight during erection, or if there is discomfort during intercourse: solutions are available.
How does revision surgery proceed?
This procedure is most often performed on an outpatient basis, under local or short general anesthesia. Healing takes 3 to 4 weeks, with sexual abstinence during this period. The aesthetic and functional result is generally very satisfactory.
Is resumption frequent?
No, but it is indicated in case of a persistent problem after the initial circumcision.
Is webbing of the penis always congenital?
Not always: it can be congenital or secondary to a posthectomy.
Is the result final?
Yes, after healing, the result remains stable over time.
