Dorsal band traction for reduction of paraphimosis.

Reduction of paraphimosis can be a painful and difficult process. Methods thus far proposed focus on decreasing the edema before reduction. We have used the basic surgical principle of traction and countertraction by applying a pair of Adson forceps directly to the band formed by the retracted preputial opening. To date we have successfully used this technique on 6 children and 3 adults.
