Abstract

Twenty of 75 male children undergoing elective circumcision demonstrated a ventral glandular chordee produced by an unusually prominent frenulum. Surgical incision of this prominent band of tissue relaxed the glandular traction (chordee), more adequately exposing the ventral inner prepuce, facilitating skin incisions, and permitting an improved cosmetic and functional outcome.
