>I recommend the synechotomy for the early hygiene genital in the boys. My sons at six months were treated and from then, they were worn to the retraction of their foreskins. In www.straffon.org is showded the process of the synechotomy. I wait your comentaries.
Why operate at all? Every operation bears risks. The synechae is a natural and healthy situation in that age child and releases in virually all cases by puberty. This is particularly so if the child is not scolded against touching himself. Substituting substantial risk - both of the operation itself and for the complications such as skin bridges and tags - for every single boy in place of the perhaps 1 in 10,000 likelihood of the synechae not detaching on their own is a very poor trade-off. I'm sure the fellow on the site reports fantastic results with no complications whatsoever, but I cannot believe there aren't complications. In short - it ain't broke, so don't try to fix it.
