Prepuce


Definition:

  • (n.) The foreskin.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Urethroplasty was carried out with pedicle skin of prepuce in 6 patients with the hypospadias since Feb 1987.
  • (2) No Campylobacter fetus organisms were identified from the prepuce or from samples of semen collected at the same time from these bulls.

  • (4) It appears that in the Mersey Region many boys are circumcised for development non-retractability of the prepuce rather than for true phimosis and that in consequence some two-thirds of the operations are unnecessary.
  • (5) The mass was enclosed in the prepuce and adherent to its skin and there was no enlargement of the clitoris itself.
