Is Cutting Frenulum Artery Necessary In Adult Circumcision? Possible Restoring The Cut Artery?

Hi!

I have a question about circumcision as an adult. Is it possible to avoid cutting the frenulum artery when one have to have a circumcision as an adult? And is it most common that the frenulum artery is cut when infants are circumcised? And finally the last question; is it possible to "restore" a frenulum artery that has been cut, so blood can flow through it again?

Thank you beforehand.

Best regards,
Daniel

Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted about the frenuluml artery during surgery of circumcision.
Frenulum artery is always cut and ligated during surgery of circumcision and have no ill effects.as penis has dual blood supply from the tip as well as from base by numerous blood tributaries.(Vessels).
There is no need to restore blood supply on the ground that glans has rich and dual blood supply.
