Indications

  • Relieve paraphimosis
    • After failure of non-invasive reduction
    • Emergent urology consult not available
  • Phimosis causing urinary retention

Contraindications

  • No absolute contraindications
  • Should be performed by urologist if consultation is immediately available
  • Caution when:
    • Evidence of overlying infection
    • Patient immune compromised
    • Patient has coagulation disorder

Equipment Needed

  • Betadine or other antiseptic prep solution
  • Sterile gloves and drape
  • Local anesthetic
  • 27 gauge needle
  • 3cc syringe
  • Straight hemostats or Kelly clamp
  • Iris scissors
  • Vicryl suture (3-0 or 4-0)
  • Needle driver
  • Gauze

Procedure

  1. Prep and drape penis in sterile fashion
  2. Using a 27 gauge needle, raise a wheal of anesthetic in the foreskin
    • Just proximal to the glans on the dorsal aspect of the penis
  3. Extend the injection along the longitudinal axis until entire foreskin is anesthetized
  4. After 4 min, check effectiveness of anesthetic
  5. Slide closed hemostat between dorsal penis and foreskin
  6. Gently open hemostat to create a tract
  7. Remove hemostat
  8. Open hemostat and insert bottom prong along previously created tract with top prong above the foreskin
    • Carefully ensure that hemostat is not in urethral meatus
  9. Close hemostat to crush foreskin tissue
  10. Leave hemostat in place for 10 minutes
  11. Remove hemostat
  12. Use iris scissors to cut crushed tissue
  13. Use vicryl to place a running stitch along cut ends of foreskin if oozing is excessive or persistent
  14. Clean glans
  15. Place Foley catheter if needed

Complications

  • Bleeding
  • Pain
  • Infection
  • Damage to glans or urethra
