'''Redundant foreskin''' (aka '''Insufficient foreskin removal''') is classed technically as a [[complication]] of elective [[circumcision]]. The major issue is cosmetic because the expected [[circumcised]] appearance has not been achieved. The expected appearance of the circumcised [[penis]] was established in the Second Century when the Jewish rabbis instituted [[periah]] and has no relationship to health. There are no additional health issues from insufficient [[foreskin]] removal. A [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]] revision may be carried out to achieve the desired appearance.<ref>{{REFjournal

Circumcision revision is a [[Financial incentive| revenue generator]] for urological surgeons. The term ''redundant foreskin'' appears to have been invented as a sales aid for harmful, non-therapeutic surgical [[amputation]] of the [[foreskin]].
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.<ref name="hodges2001">{{REFjournal
