There is such a thing as "dorsal slit or V-cut" method of circumcision wherein no foreskin is removed and the frenulum is left intact."

Dorsal slit circumcisions are never done to infants. This type of circumcision is reserved exclusively for older children or adults to treat problems and where they want to preserve the foreskin. In actuality, it is not even a circumcision as it doesn't meet the defininition of "circumscribe" or to cut around.

Typically, this procedure is used to address phimosis, a tightness of the foreskin opening. Typically, it only cuts the very tip of the foreskin at the preputial sphincter leaving the foreskin intact to cover the glans. The end results are quite unappealing when used as a substitute for a typical circumcision. The foreskin falls to the underside of the penis and just hangs there. You appear to be trying to imply you are a physician. A typical parent would be quite dissatisfied with this procedure as a substitute for a typical circumcision and most of these procedures performed on infants would be circumcised a second time resulting in a quite unhappy patient list and a detrimental effect on your business. This leads me to believe you are not a physician and are trying to dupe the readers here with a little bit of knowledge you picked up on the internet.
