Urology. 1996 Sep;48(3):464-5. doi: 10.1016/S0090-4295(96)00198-7.

Abstract

The use of hyaluronidase facilitates reduction of paraphimosis. It acts by dispersing extracellular edema, permitting easy reduction of the foreskin. Its use is applicable both in the hospital and outpatient setting. Hyaluronidase is widely available and keeps well if refrigerated. It is effective for children and adults.
