Dorsal Slit Introduction

Dorsal slit is a minor surgical procedure used to open a tight foreskin. It involves making a small cut on the upper side of the foreskin. This helps relieve pressure and allows proper exposure of the glans.

Simple Surgical Release of Tight Foreskin

Dorsal slit is usually performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort. The penis is cleaned and prepared using sterile technique. A small incision is made on the dorsal (upper) side of the foreskin. This cut relieves tightness and allows the foreskin to retract easily. Bleeding is controlled using simple sutures or cautery if needed. The procedure provides immediate relief and is often used as a temporary or emergency solution.

Clinical Indications for Dorsal Slit

  • To relieve acute foreskin tightness (phimosis)
  • To manage painful swelling or inflammation of the foreskin
  • To allow catheterization or proper penile examination
