Foreskin Restoration

Surgical Procedure

Foreskin restoration, also called foreskin reconstruction, is the process of recreating the foreskin of the penis after its removal by circumcision or injury. It is most often accomplished by gently tugging the remaining skin of the penis by hand or with a restoration device to stimulate the growth of more skin through tissue expansion, though surgical methods also exist. Restoration creates a functional facsimile of the foreskin, but specialized tissue removed during circumcision, such as the preputial orifice, cannot be recovered.
