Because of its location, the ridged band is invariably excised if a male is circumcised.
The late [[John R. Taylor]], MB, Ch.B., MRCPEd, {{FRCPC}}, a British-Canadian pathologist and biomedical researcher who practiced medicine at the [https://www.hsc.mb.ca/ Health Sciences Centre] 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 [[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.
