	In Greek terminology, a person who had undergone the procedure of stretching the [[Foreskin\| prepuce]] was known as ''epispastikós'', the stretched one (epispasmós = pull-over). Similarly, the Romans addressed him as ''recutitio'', the reskinned (cutis = [[skin]]), not differentiating by this term whether it was done surgically or nonsurgically.<ref name="schultheiss1998" />		In Greek terminology, a person who had undergone the procedure of [[stretching]] the [[Foreskin\|prepuce]] was known as ''epispastikós'', the stretched one (epispasmós = pull-over).
