AB  - Acute  conditions  affecting  the  foreskin  that  must  be  recognized  in  the  Emergency  Department  include  a  phimosis  and  a  paraphimosis.  The  Emergency  Physician  must  be  able  to  accurately  identify  and  manage  these  conditions  as  well  as  recognize  when  an  urgent  Urology  consultation  is  necessary.  A  dorsal  slit  of  the  foreskin  can  be  performed  primarily  in  the  Emergency  Department.  This  technique  is  used  to  relieve  strangulation  of  the  glans  by  a  paraphimosis  or  to  aid  in  the  visualization  of  the  urethral  meatus  in  patients  with  a  phimosis.1  The  techniques  are  easy  to  learn  and  simple  to  perform.
