	A '''penile frenulectomy''' is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the [[frenulum]] of the [[penis]]. The frenulum is a band of tissue located on the underside of the penis that connects the glans (head) to the shaft. This procedure is typically performed to alleviate discomfort or pain associated with a short or tight frenulum, a condition known as [[frenulum breve]].

	Penile frenulectomy is indicated in cases where the frenulum is too short, causing pain during [[erection]] or [[sexual intercourse]]. This condition can lead to tearing of the frenulum, which may result in bleeding and scarring. In some cases, a tight frenulum can also contribute to [[phimosis]], a condition where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans.

	The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision along the frenulum to release the tension. The tissue is then either removed or repositioned to allow for greater flexibility. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures, which dissolve over time.

	Recovery from a penile frenulectomy is generally quick. Patients are advised to avoid sexual activity and strenuous physical exercise for a few weeks to allow proper healing.

A '''penile frenulectomy''' is a surgical procedure involving the removal or alteration of the [[frenulum]] of the [[penis]]. The frenulum is a band of tissue located on the underside of the penis, connecting the glans to the shaft. This procedure is typically performed to address issues such as frenulum breve, which can cause discomfort or pain during [[sexual intercourse]] or [[erection]].

== Indications ==

Penile frenulectomy is indicated in cases where the frenulum is too short, a condition known as [[frenulum breve]]. This can lead to painful erections, tearing of the frenulum, or difficulty retracting the [[foreskin]] over the glans. It may also be performed as part of a [[circumcision]] or to enhance sexual function and comfort.

== Procedure ==

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision to release the frenulum, allowing for greater mobility of the foreskin. In some cases, the frenulum is completely removed. The incision is then closed with absorbable sutures. The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour.

== Recovery ==

Recovery from a penile frenulectomy is generally quick. Patients are advised to avoid sexual activity and strenuous physical activity for a few weeks to allow proper healing. Mild discomfort and swelling are common but usually resolve within a few days. Proper hygiene is important to prevent infection.

== Complications ==

Complications from penile frenulectomy are rare but can include bleeding, infection, or scarring. In some cases, there may be a change in sensation, although this is uncommon. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions to minimize risks.
