Surgical foreskin restoration is only rarely, if ever, practiced today.
==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 tumescenttumescence, 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

[Note: It is thought that this surgical procedure was developed to meet the unusual requirements of Jainist monks. It is said that they must remain nude but keep the [[glans penis ]] completely covered by [[foreskin]]. It This procedure is not thought to be suitable for others.]
