Remove any remaining "adhesions" with the blunt probe.

• Make sure the corona is fully exposed 360°.

• Place the blunt probe in the sulcus just proximal to the corona to help break up often subtle "adhesions."

• Dab off any excess blood with a sterile gauze sponge as necessary.

• Check the ventral area where "adhesions" are often present on the glans and corona. For a good, symmetrical circumcision, these must be removed. Avoid damaging the frenulum. Remember, the frenulum starts at or below the corona.

• There is no frenulum on the glans. What appears as "frenulum" on the ventral glans is really only "adhesions" that haven't been lyzed yet.
