Epispasm is a word derived from ancient Greek, (επισπασμοσ), that means circumcision reversal or foreskin restoration. Epispasm was popular in the First Century among circumcised Jewish men who wanted to appear as Greek.[1]
Hall (1992) reports that a surgical operation was necessary.[1]
Schultheiss et al. (1998) report that, in an alternative to the surgical procedures, a weight, called the Pondus Judaeus was attached to the residual foreskin that pulled the skin downward and stretched it which resulted in tissue expansion.[2]
The practice of epispasm seems to have persisted from the Second Century B. C. to the Sixth Century A. D.[1]
