title: Dorsal relieving incision for the non-retractile foreskin.
abstract: The operation of dorsal relieving incision (DRI) for non-retractibility of the foreskin is described and the results of a retrospective review of 67 boys so treated are presented. We conclude that DRI is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the non-retractile foreskin not affected by fibrotic scarring.
