Abstract
Two hundred and twenty five children aged 4-12 years with phimosis were treated by flexible dilatation combined with topical betamethasone cream from January 2003 to January 2015. Two hundred and eight cases (92.44%) were completely cured and penile edema and urination were returned to normal 7 d after a single operation; while, 17 children received 2-3 additional flexible expansion. During follow-up of 2-24 months, 221 children achieved the cure standards with an overall cure rate of 98.22%.
