Penn (1963) pulled the [[shaft skin]] forward to create a [[foreskin]] and then used a graft from an unidentified source to cover the defect in the [[shaft skin]].<ref>{{REFjournal | Penn (1963) pulled the [[shaft skin]] forward to create a [[foreskin]] and then used a graft from an unidentified source to cover the defect in the [[shaft skin]].<ref name="penn1963">{{REFjournal | ||

On the shaft of the [[circumcised]] [[penis]], one finds the [[circumcision scar]] at a midway point on the shaft. From the scar to the abdominal wall, one finds residual penile [[shaft skin]]. From the scar to the [[glans penis]] one finds residual [[preputial mucosa]]l [[foreskin]] tissue, usually in a desiccated condition. Application of traction, either manually or by the aid of a commercial device sold for the purpose, is used to cause longitudinal [[tissue expansion]]. | On the shaft of the [[circumcised]] [[penis]], one finds the [[circumcision scar]] at a midway point on the shaft.

The [[circumcision scar]] will migrate toward the tip of the [[penis]] as the residual [[shaft skin]] expands. In some cases it will turn inside the new restored [[foreskin]] and become invisible. Some restorers recommend that the expansion of the internal and outer skin be regulated so that the scar is at the tip of the restored [[foreskin]].<ref>{{REFweb | The [[circumcision scar]] will migrate toward the tip of the [[penis]] as the residual [[shaft skin]] expands.

There are no controlled scientific studies on the extent of recovery of sensation, however several men, who were [[circumcised]] as adults and later restored, estimate that they have regained about 80 percent of lost sensation. | There are no controlled scientific studies on the extent of recovery of sensation, however several men, who were [[circumcised]] as adults and later restored, estimate that they have regained about 80 percent of lost sensation. | ||
