Could The Sleeve Type Circumcision Be Done Without Stitches At The End?

In a normal sleeve type circumcision the first cut is made 12mm, 1/2 inch behind the glans and a second cut is made around the penis, looks like about an inch back and the sleeve of skin is removed and shaft skin is moved forward and the two cut ends come together and are stitched. I would like to know if these two cuts can be made about 2/3 of the way back on the penis and the tip of the foreskin be moved down the shaft so the two cut ends come together and then stitched with no stitches in the tip end. in doing this the tip of the foreskin is now just behind the glans. Can a circumcision be done like that ? thank you

Hello
Thanks for query .

At the outset I would like to state that aim in doing circumcision is to uncover the glans completely exposed from foreskin which can be retracted completely over glans to so that one can have pain free penetration of vagina during intercourse to have enjoyable sex ..

There can not be proper approximation and reunion of the two layers of the foreskin and skin of shaft of the penis without suturing as suggested by you

The way you have suggested to be done would result in to partial circumcision which cosmetically is not acceptable by most of the female partners .

At the end it is the result of the surgery to have pain free enjoyable sex that matters .
