The dorsal slit technique to treat paraphimosis is begun by crushing the foreskin at the 12-o'clock position with 2 straight hemostats.
Surgical therapy: The puncture technique, a minimally invasive procedure, and blood aspiration are common therapies to decompress the edematous prepuce.
Paraphimosis is an uncommon condition in which the foreskin, once pulled back behind the glans penis, cannot be brought down to its original position, thus constituting one of the few urologic emergencies encountered in general practice (see Image 1).

 Paraphimosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prevention of recurrence is through education of the patient and his care givers on the need to pull back the foreskin over the glans after it has been retracted (for example, when cleaning the glans or passing a Foley catheter), or through elective circumcision.
Paraphimosis is a medical condition where the foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans penis, and cannot be pulled back to its normal flaccid position covering the glans penis.
If the condition persists for several hours or there is any sign of a lack of blood flow, paraphimosis should be treated as a medical emergency, as it can result in gangrene or other serious complications.

 Paraphimosis, Eastern Carolina
Paraphimosis is a condition in which the skin that normally folds over the penis—the foreskin—tightens and retracts, and cannot return to its normal position over the head of the penis.
Paraphimosis is caused by inflammation or infection of the foreskin, and may be associated with poor personal hygiene.
If not corrected, the penis will swell, and the blood flow to the head of the penis may be cut off, damaging the tissue.
http://www.uhseast.com/121099.cfm   (161 words)

  
 Paraphimosis -- eCureMe.com
It is caused by a tight foreskin constricting the penis, which acts much like a tourniquet on a limb, preventing the return of blood from the head (glans) of the penis to the body and causing swelling and pain.
Failure to quickly treat a paraphimosis can lead to permanent damage to the tissues of the penis, causing decreased sensation, and, in the most extreme cases, permanent loss of part or all of the glans.
Because of the risk of paraphimosis, parents and children should never attempt to retract the foreskin of an uncircumcised child until after 6 years of age.

Since paraphimosis may happen repeatedly most men opt to have a circumcision so they don't find themselves in such a painful situation again.
Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin, which is usually tight because of phimosis, has been pulled back but can't be rolled forwards again.
Under these circumstances the tight ring of the foreskin acts like a tourniquet, constricting the blood flow to the head of the penis.
