Redundant foreskin (aka Insufficient foreskin removal) is classed technically as a complication. The major issue is cosmetic because the expected circumcised appearance has not been achieved. There are no additional health issues from insufficient foreskin removal. A circumcision revision is usually carried out to achieve the desired appearance.[1]
There is no accepted definition of redundant foreskin.
Acroposthion
A longer foreskin that some may consider "redundant", also may be considered to be an acroposthion, that was highly regarded in ancient Greece.[2]
