Abstract

This report describes a novel technique of releasing the zipper-entrapped penile skin. The thin blade of a small screwdriver is inserted between the outer and inner faceplates of the zip fastener, and twisting movement is made toward the median bar. This will widen the gap between faceplates disengaging the prepuce. This technique was used in 12 children and was found to be safe, effective, simple, painless, and nontraumatic. This can be done by attending pediatrician even in nonhospital settings without resorting to surgical help.
