Restoring the penile foreskin
The restoration of the male foreskin , from the ancient Greek Bible text -πισπάομαι ( epispaomai , to cover) also called Epispasmos / -us , can be done either surgically or non-surgically by stretching the remaining penile skin. There are many reasons to restore the foreskin; for some circumcised men it is about improving sexual sensation (see also Effects on Sex ). The reversal of circumcision was already known in the 1st century ( 1 Makk 1.15 EU ).
Surgical method
In the surgical method , skin is transplanted either from the penis itself or from other parts of the body, thereby reconstructing the foreskin. This method is considered to be more expensive, painful, and risky than the non-surgical method.
Non-surgical methods (stretching)
With this method, the remaining skin of the penis is pulled over the glans and held in position with elastic rubbers, medical tape or weights. New cells are formed in the stretching process when the skin is stretched. The restored foreskin does not have all of the properties of the original foreskin; for example , the frenulum cannot be restored without surgery. The advantage of stretching is that this method is scar-free and hair-free. The process is very time consuming.
