Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some ...: For most of the cases, the adhesion between foreskin and glans penis can be tediously separated with skillful surgery in conjunction with modified circumcision if gentle manual separation with topical use of steroid cream fails to separate. For technical detail and realistic expectation, ask the intended surgeon - urologist - timely.
