Table 2. The phimosis measurement scale used to assess the efficacy of the treatment.

Phimosis grade	Description
1	Absolutely no retraction
2	Slight retraction leaving a gap between the tip of the prepuce and the glans, i.e., neither meatus nor glans are exposed
3	Partial retraction, just sufficient to see the glandular meatus
4	Partial retraction, exposing part of the glans
5	Full retraction of the foreskin, tight behind the glans
6	Full and free retraction of the foreskin, no tightness behind the glans
