What is phimosis?

Phimosis is a medical condition in which the foreskin (the skin covering the penis) is too tight to expose the glans when pulled back fully. In other words, the foreskin does not retract properly.

Doctors usually first suggest conservative treatments, such as corticosteroid creams or gentle stretching exercises. If these methods fail, the most effective and permanent solution is surgery to correct the condition, a straightforward procedure that restores comfort and function.

When should phimosis surgery be considered?

The impact of phimosis depends on both age and the severity of the condition. While some men live with it without major issues, others experience daily discomfort that affects their health and well-being.

The most common symptoms of problematic phimosis include:

In children, a non-retractable foreskin is often a physiological and normal condition. But in adolescents and adults, if these symptoms persist, it is important to seek medical evaluation.

If you are experiencing one or more of these signs, consulting a urologist from Turquie Santé's partner network allows you to obtain a reliable diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, whether medical or surgical.

What surgical techniques are used to treat phimosis in Turkey?

In Turkey, urologists employ two primary surgical techniques to treat phimosis. Each has its own principles, benefits, and limitations:

Surgical techniquePrincipleAnesthesiaAdvantagesLimitations
Posthectomy (Circumcision)Partial or total removal of the foreskinLocal or generalPermanent, radical, and widely practiced solutionIrreversible procedure
Foreskin plastyEnlargement of the foreskin opening without removing it (conservative approach)Local or generalPreserves the foreskin and natural appearanceSmall risk of recurrence

The choice of technique depends on age, the condition of the foreskin, symptoms, and personal preferences.
With Turquie Santé, each patient benefits from a personalized assessment by expert urologists to determine the most appropriate and safest surgical option.

How is phimosis surgery performed in Turkey?

Phimosis surgery is a safe, quick, and minimally invasive procedure that generally lasts 15 to 30 minutes. To ensure comfort and pain-free treatment, the surgeon may use local, regional, or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's age, medical condition, and preferences.

The procedure usually follows these steps:

  1. Preparation: The genital area is disinfected and carefully prepared under sterile conditions.
  2. Surgery: The urologist performs either a circumcision (posthectomy) or a foreskin plasty, according to the chosen technique.
  3. Suturing: The incision is closed using absorbable stitches, which dissolve naturally to support fast and safe healing.
  4. Discharge: In most cases, the surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. The patient can go home the same day, unless specific medical reasons require short monitoring.

Thanks to the expertise of Turquie Santé's partner urologists, patients benefit from a modern, precise, and safe surgical approach, ensuring both comfort and excellent functional results.

Postoperative care and recovery: What to expect after phimosis surgery?

Recovery after phimosis surgery is usually quick and straightforward, especially when performed by experienced urologists in modern clinics. By carefully following the postoperative instructions, most patients return to their normal daily routine in just a few days, with complete healing within a few weeks.

Here's what you can expect after the procedure:

AspectRecommendations & details
Pain & discomfortMild discomfort may be felt for 24–48 hours, easily relieved with prescribed painkillers.
UrinationPassing urine does not interfere with wound healing.
HygieneGentle and regular cleaning of the operated area helps prevent infection and irritation.
Sexual activityAvoid sexual intercourse for 3 to 4 weeks to ensure optimal healing.
Physical activitySports and intense efforts should be avoided until complete recovery.
Medical follow-upA check-up with the urologist ensures proper scar healing and a satisfactory final result.

With Turquie Santé, patients benefit from personalized follow-up, ensuring a safe and smooth recovery every step of the way.

Risks & possible complications of phimosis surgery: How to prevent them?

Like any surgical procedure, phimosis surgery may involve certain risks. Fortunately, when performed by experienced urologists in modern and certified clinics in Turkey, complications remain rare and well-managed.

Risk / ComplicationSeverityPossible causesTypical symptomsManagement & preventionExpected recovery
