==Options for treatment of lost foreskin==

The options for treatment are few. [[Surgical foreskin restoration]] has been tried but is no longer recommended. Men, seeking to undo the unfortunate results of their circumcision, may opt for non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]], which uses [[tissue expansion]] to elongate the residual shaft skin to form a new foreskin. It is claimed that it restores about 80 percent of the lost sensation.
