One of the simplest methods involved the implantation of a small platinum ring within the tip of the "foreskin." The ring held the [[skin]] in place over the glans, resulting in a "created phimosis" (meaning that the [[skin]] could not be retracted while the ring was in place). The hope was to generate enough new [[skin]] to permanently re-cover the glans after the ring was removed. As it turned out the [[skin]] that was left was a fibrous, raised band where the platinum ring had been lodged and there was not enough [[skin]] to cover the glans.<ref name="bigelow1994">{{REFjournal | One of the simplest methods involved the implantation of a small platinum ring within the tip of the "foreskin."
