We have 100% clinical short-term follow-up (3 months) and 91% long-term follow-up (up to 10 years) showing high patient satisfaction scores and low complication and re-operation rates. Our study validates the common practice of using plastic surgical techniques for scar lengthening. Other studies describe expensive, rarely used procedures and are hampered by small patient numbers or short-term follow-up only. The only other published study was a questionnaire follow-up with a 23% response rate and the technique used was not clarified. However, there is very little data in the urological literature regarding either technique or assessment. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?įrenuloplasty, using common plastic surgical techniques for scar lengthening, is a commonly performed operation amongst urologists for isolated frenular pathology.
