Relatively little medical literature regarding [[foreskin restoration]] for [[circumcised]] men exists. The reasons for this are two-fold:
* Foreskin restoration embarrasses and discredits the [[circumcision industry]] as it tries to make [[Financial incentive| as much money as it can]] from [[genital mutilation]] of boys.<ref name="bollinger2012">{{REFweb |url=https://www.academia.edu/6442587/High_Cost_of_Circumcision_3.6_Billion_Annually |title=High Cost of Circumcision: $3.6 Billion Annually |last=Bollinger |first=Dan |author-link=Dan Bollinger |publisher=Academia |website=https://www.academia.edu |date=2012 |accessdate=2024-06-21 |format= |quote=As the saying goes, follow the money.

==Foreskin regeneration==
[[Foreskin regeneration]] is a relatively new and experimental procedure with the application of the principles of tissue engineering to regeneration of missing foreskins, which [[Foregen]] is attempting to develop. The publications to date have been limited. The available articles report on the development of a procedure, not the actual performance of foreskin regeneration, which has not been done reported as of June 2024.

The [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/ Cleveland Clinic] (2023) has belatedly recognized the existence of both surgical and non-surgical foreskin restoration:

|quote=Restoring your foreskin is a personal decision, and there are many reasons why you may want to do it. Most people who wish to restore their foreskin want the appearance of an uncircumcised penis. It can also make you feel good to reclaim decisions about your body.
