'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the term applied to the creation of a [[foreskin]] by the application of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to regeneration of the lost foreskin for those men who have lost their [[foreskin]] to [[circumcision]] by the application of organ regeneration science.
'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' remains experimental and under development in the Spring of 2024 as no foreskin has yet been regenerated. It  {{FULLPAGENAME}} would use a different process from [[foreskin restoration]] as has been [[Epispasm| practiced since ancient times]]. {{FULLPAGENAME}} has been promoted by [[Vincenzo Aiello]] of Rome, Italy, who has created [[Foregen]], an Italian charitable organization, in 2010, to advance the development of foreskin regeneration.

* [[Foregen ]] announced in 2018 that it had completed a decellularized extracellular matrix–based biomaterial scaffold, which is to be used in foreskin regeneration.<ref>{{REFjournal

* Sig. Aiello (April 2023) announced the successful completion of animal trials using sheep.
* Novatna et al. (2023) compared two different methods of decellularization techniques of human foreskin and found that both methods are satisfactory.<ref>{{REFjournal
