While reviewing the results of the implanted-ring procedure, an engineer living in the Pacific Northwest hit upon the idea of using tape to hold the [[skin]] in place over the [[glans]]. His intent was to avoid both the surgery needed to have the platinum ring implanted and the unsightly fibrous band it left. This simple idea was circulated among a small network of men who had been sharing whatever information they could find on [[foreskin restoration]] as well as their ideas and experimentation. As a result, in 1982, [[BUFF]] (Brothers United for Future Foreskins) was born.<ref name="bigelow1994"/> | While reviewing the results of the implanted-ring procedure, an engineer living in the Pacific Northwest hit upon the idea of using tape to hold the [[skin]] in place over the [[glans]].

Despite the possible complications of surgery and the inevitable presence of scars, the main disadvantage seems to be the different color and texture of the original [[penile skin]] and the graft. This outcome may not be what the patient had expected; therefore, most foreskin restoration seekers nowadays prefer [[Tissue expansion|skin expansion]] systems, which avoid these problems. | Despite the possible complications of surgery and the inevitable presence of scars, the main disadvantage seems to be the different color and texture of the original [[penile skin]] and the graft.

NORM and Doctors Opposing Circumcision do not recommend non-surgical foreskin restoration.<ref>{{REFweb | ||

Gupta, Mehta, & Gupta (2021), working in [[India]], have described a new surgical technique to provide coverage of the [[glans penis]] at all times, including tumescence, 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 | Gupta, Mehta, & Gupta (2021), working in [[India]], have described a new surgical technique to provide coverage of the [[glans penis]] at all times, including tumescence, for men who were involuntarily [[circumcised]] in childhood or who had a congenitally short prepuce ([[foreskin]]).

<b>[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]]. This procedure is not thought to be suitable for others.]</b> | |||
==Contemporary surgical foreskin restoration== | |||
Surgical foreskin restoration has mostly been replaced by non-surgical foreskin restoration, but it appears [[surgical foreskin restoration]] is still available for a price. Surgical foreskin restoration is now being performed in Germany by Dr med [[Aref El-Seweifi]]. | |||
