Although traditional circumcision is the most widely used, it has many disadvantages, including postoperative bleeding and incision infection, pain, obvious scars on the surgical incision, and unsatisfactory appearance.

To design a new children phimosis dilatation retractor for children phimosis.
The children phimosis was dilated with an elastic dilation frame, in order to expand the foreskin mouth and expose the penis head, and after that, the phimosis was cured.
A new type of phimosis dilatation retractor was designed, which can gently dilate the prepuce at multiple angles and in multiple directions at the same time. It has obtained the national patent for clinical application.
The phimosis dilatation retractor based on the principle of elastically expanding the prepuce can achieve the purpose of expanding the phimosis. The clinical application shows that the effect of the children phimosis retractor is significant, which is worth promoting.
Core Tip: This new type of phimosis dilatation retractor can be applied to treat most cases of phimosis in children, and no general anesthetics are required. Compared to other treatments, retractor is easy to operate and inexpensive. Furthermore, good treatment effects can be achieved through gentle and continuous dilation of the foreskin. These characteristics make this retractor suitable for clinical promotion.
