Not all circumcisions are the same. Adult circumcision at Urogyn Men's Clinic Busan uses the sleeve resection technique — the internationally recommended gold standard — but the precise excision level (high or low), the amount of inner foreskin preserved, and optional additions like frenuloplasty are all tailored to each patient's anatomy and preference.

Adult Circumcision Techniques Explained
The technique used for adult circumcision significantly affects the cosmetic outcome, recovery, and complication profile. At Urogyn Busan, all adult circumcisions are performed using the sleeve resection technique — the internationally recommended standard. This involves precise surgical marking of both inner and outer preputial skin at the intended excision level, removal of the marked sleeve, and closure with dissolvable sutures. The technique allows accurate control of the excision level, even distribution of remaining skin, and symmetrical cosmetic result.
Sleeve resection removes a measured sleeve of both outer and inner preputial skin at a precisely marked level. The glans is completely exposed. Haemostasis is secured, and the mucosal and skin edges are approximated with 3-0 or 4-0 dissolvable sutures in two layers. No suture removal is required. The technique is highly reproducible and is recommended by the AUA and British Association of Urological Surgeons for adult circumcision.
The circumcision level refers to how much inner foreskin (mucosal skin) remains after surgery. In a high circumcision, the cut is made further back — removing more inner foreskin and leaving more shaft skin. In a low circumcision, the cut is closer to the glans — preserving more inner foreskin. Neither is inherently better; the appropriate level depends on the patient's anatomy, indication (medical vs elective), and personal preference discussed at the marking stage before any incision is made.
- Dorsal slit: A single midline incision to relieve acute phimosis or paraphimosis — not a cosmetic circumcision. Used as an emergency measure.
- Plastibell (clamp) method: Common in neonates — not recommended for adult circumcision due to higher complication rates and inferior cosmetic results.
- Guillotine method: Freehand excision without precise marking — not recommended. Higher risk of asymmetry and complications.

Frenuloplasty — Same-Session Option
For men with a short or tight frenulum causing pain or tearing during intercourse.
High Circumcision
More inner skin removedMore inner foreskin excised, more shaft skin visible below corona. Common in men seeking a "tighter" appearance or for religious traditions preferring full exposure.
Low Circumcision
More inner skin preservedInner foreskin preserved closer to the glans. Common for medical indications (phimosis, BXO) where the pathological outer foreskin is removed but inner mucosal skin is retained.
Frenuloplasty
Optional · Same session · +15 minDivision and lengthening of the frenulum for men with frenulum breve causing tearing or pain. Performed simultaneously with circumcision. Adds approximately 15 minutes to the procedure.
