Meatotomy
Surgical modification of the male urinary meatus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A meatotomy (/miːəˈtɒtəmɪ/[1][2]) is a form of penile modification in which the underside of the glans is split, extending the urinary meatus. The procedure may be performed by a doctor to alleviate meatal stenosis or urethral stricture.[3][4][5][6]
