Restored foreskin may be created by surgical or non-surgical means.
Creators
Creators normally fall into two categories. The first category consists of men who were involuntarily received a non-therapeutic circumcision as an infant or small child. The second category consists of men who voluntarily granted consent as an adult for adolescent or adult circumcision, but now regret their decision.
Both categories of creators seek a sense of wholeness or completeness, a restoration of normal appearance of the penis, and a restoration of lost sensory and other functions to the extent possible. Other reasons are to regain control over one's body and anger management.[1]
Surgically restored foreskin
The surgically restored foreskin is rare.
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.[2]
Greer (1982) described a four-stage procedure in which scrotal skin was used to create a foreskin.[3]
Goodwin (1990) described a procedure in which the shaft skin of the penis is advanced forward and scrotal skin is used to cover the defect so that the foreskin is made up of shaft skin with scrotal skin replacing it on the shaft of the penis.[4]
