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 circumcision revision may be carried out to achieve the desired appearance.[1]

Circumcision revision is a revenue generator for urological surgeons.

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]
