Paraphimosis

From greek.doctor

Paraphimosis refers to the situation where the foreskin is retracted and cannot be returned to original position. This causes oedema of the glans, which worsens the problem, potentially leading to ischaemia and necrosis. It therefore requires urgent management.

Management

  • Manual reduction after anaesthesia
    • Local or regional anaesthesia
  • Surgery
  • Circumcision
