Definition[Bearbeiten]
The frenular artery is a small branch of the dorsal artery of the penis that runs in the frenulum praeputii of the glans penis.
Function[Bearbeiten]
The frenular artery supplies the frenulum and the neighbouring tissue with arterial blood.
Clinic[Bearbeiten]
According to one study, removal of the frenular artery during circumcision is associated with an increased incidence of stenosis of the external urethral ostium. For this reason, preservation of the frenular artery should be aimed for using certain surgical techniques.[1]
