The late John R. Taylor, MB, Ch.B., MRCPEd, FRCPC, a British-Canadian pathologist and biomedical researcher who practiced in Winnipeg, MB, first used the term "ridged band" instead of "wrinkly skin" and described the ridged band at the ''Second International Symposium on Circumcision'', organized by [http://www.nocirc.org NOCIRC] in San Francisco, 1991, after examining the foreskins of 22 adults obtained at autopsy. The mean age was 37 years, range 22–58. The prepuces were studied grossly and histologically. | The late John R.
