Technically. Ever wonder why it became a religious practice to circumcise? It’s hot in the Middle East and so circumcision would reduce the chance of urinary tract infection, so more children would survive. The practice just became a tradition so even the morons would do it.
It might be minimally invasive but has a far higher risk. You’re no longer cutting loose skin, you’re cutting across the top of the frenulum and urethral artery and if you go wrong it can lead to more nerve damage than circumcision and possibly sepsis. I’m not convinced.

You obviously have no clue of the anatomy of the penis.

You should probably tell me why, because it seems like I’m right here. A lateral cut along your penis does get dangerously close to the urethral artery. But no need to be upset, if you have a qualification or evidence otherwise, I’m all ears.

I gotta be totally frank here, you're talking outta your ass... You just learned preputioplasty exists moments ago but you already think you can declare which is more dangerous or harmful? How about you provide some evidence for a change? Circumcision cuts through veins too

Here’s a diagram, here’s the procedure. I know what the surgery is, I had it offered and chose circumcision. I’m being skeptical of the info here. Look at the artery, then the cut. I was told by a real doctor that it had a higher chance of sepsis, which is why I’m repeating it.pic.twitter.com/iGQgDvxhxj

Here's a study on the subject of preputioplasty that "confirms its low rate of postoperative complications and its good results in terms of preputial retractability and cosmetic outcomes". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC539601/ … I also found another cool one I'm going over now

Actually the thing I was reading isn't quite finished yet, here's a clinical trial still in progress for the rest of this year: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02854995 … Guess I'll keep an eye on that

Another one, suggesting preputioplasty is a "good alternative" to circumcision: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0090429508008467 … And another! https://www.fimose.org/uploads/6/5/5/4/65544215/preputioplastyinchildren.pdf … "Preputioplasty is a faster, easier, relatively painless technique with excellent cosmetic results and lesser complications than" circ

Nice, but the original recommended circumcision in cases of recurring infection, and the second recommended it in cases of scarring, so my point still stands. In those cases we would have to go back and circumcise you, but it would be banned- so your dick would drop off.
