Hyaluronidase for Paraphimosis

Phimosis, Meatal Stenosis, and Paraphimosis

Demographics At birth, the foreskin is usually nonretractile (physiological phimosis), with no apparent racial differences in incidence. Physiological phimosis regresses with age, as the foreskin widens and gradually advances over the glans penis. Prepucial adhesions are sometimes present during regression of physiological phimosis, but these also resolve spontaneously in most cases as epitheli...

Prepuce: Phimosis, Paraphimosis, and Circumcision

Phimosis is a condition in which the prepuce cannot be retracted over the glans penis. Actually, physiologic phimosis is common in male patients up to 3 years of age, but often extends into older age groups. Balanoposthitisis a common inflammation occurring in 4-11% of uncircumcised boys. Circumcision is generally undertaken for three reasons: first, as an item of religious practice, typically ...

Case report. Paraphimosis due to erotic dancing.

Many esoteric aetiologies have been implicated in the development of paraphimosis including piercing the foreskin, Plasmodium falciparum infection, application of celadine juice to the foreskin, chancroid, pessaries and the implantation of pearls. We report the first two cases of paraph...
