Meatotomy

Meatotomy is a form of penile modification in which the underside of the glans penis is split. The procedure may be performed by a doctor to alleviate urethral stricture , or by a body modification practitioner for the purpose of sexual pleasure or aesthetics. A meatomy can also result from a Prince Albert piercing ripping out. For some men, a greater sensation may be achieved with exposure of and access to the urethra due to the abundance of nerves.

The procedure is generally quick, involves little pain with most methods, and rarely bleeds much.

A meatotomy may be extended to subincision or genital bisection.
