→A new surgical technique from India
Gupta, Mehta, & Gupta (2021), working in India, have described a new surgical technique to provide coverage of the [[glans penis]] at all times, including tumescent, for men who were involuntarily [[circumcised]] in childhood or who had a congenitally short prepuce ([[foreskin]]). The procedure has been performed on 46 patients with apparent complete success, although penetrating sexual performance has not been evaluated.<ref name="gupta2021">{{REFjournal

Boys born into the 14.2% Muslim minority of families are usually [[circumcised]] prior to puberty.
Circumcision for medical indications is also practiced. There are urologists who advertise and promote their services. It is not clear that Indian urologists offer conservative prepuce-preserving treatment of [[foreskin ]] conditions to [[intact]] Indian men.The Urological Society of India does not offer guidelines on the conservative treatment of [[phimosis]].<ref name="usi2024">{{REFweb |url=https://usi.org.in/index.php |title=Urological Society of India |last= |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher= |date= |accessdate=2024-07-06}}</ref> == Sources of information ==The website of the Sidri International Clinic in Delhi has a wealth of [[prepuce]] preserving information that may be of interest to [[intact]] males.<ref name="sidri2024">{{REFweb |url=https://sidriinternational.com/ |title=Sidri International Clinic |last= |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher= |date= |accessdate=2024-07-07}}</ref>
