Frenectomy
From Free net encyclopedia
A frenectomy is the removal of the frenulum from the penis.
This procedure is sometimes accompanied by circumcision, which removes the foreskin.
In the United States, most newborn males undergo circumcision, often with a frenectomy as well.
Less commonly, a frenectomy may refer to removal of a frenulum in other parts of the body. Some people undergo a tongue frenectomy to permit the tongue to be extended farther out of the mouth.
