NORM - Phoenix provides an illustrated, step by step guide to cross-taping. Cross-taping is a convenient method for those who are just starting to restore their foreskin. Two strips of tape are used to pull the penile shaft skin forward and hold it over the glans. This page complements Gary's cross-taping page.

A page with pictures showing how to make and use cross-tape. The page also shows a tape-ring for retaining.

This page is complemented by the illustrated, step by step guide to cross-taping by NORM - Phoenix.

The Foreskin Restoration site advocates the MTC method, for Modified T-taping and Cross-taping. In this way the skin is tensioned for tugging by the t-tape and the glans is protected when not tugging by the cross-taping. The site has an illustrated how-to guide with a video.

The site also has information and links about other restoration methods.

Surgical foreskin restoration study in J Urol., 2009 Nov; 182(5): 2358-61. doi:10.1016/j.juro.2009.07.048  The authors investigated a reconstructive method with better sensory and erectile function for partial penile defects and report our long-term results of surgical correction using scrotal skin flaps.

The surgical foreskin restoration procedure is described on the Dr. Harold Reed Centre website. It is a 3-month procedure in which skin from the scrotum is grafted to the penile shaft.

Surgical foreskin restoration is not a popular alternative to non-surgical foreskin restoration, which is widely practiced.

NORM - Phoenix provides an illustrated guide to t-taping. T-tape is a method of restoring a foreskin that is widely used. Medical tape is applied to the shaft skin of the penis and an elastic strap is used to pull the t-tape and tension the skin. The guide shows how to make the elastic straps, make the t-tape backing strips, make the t-tapes, install the t-tape, strapping up after t-taping, and tips.

The DILE Insert Foreskin Restoration System website provides information on the DILE (Dual-action Incremental Longitudinal Expander) that was first introduced in 1998. The DILE is still offered for sale through the site.

The Jerusalem Post reports on a new technique to lengthen the shaft skin for a man with a botched circumcision. Too much skin was removed during circumcision. It sounds like the man had a severe case of turkey neck and the doctors found a way of grafting skin to make that part of the outer skin longer to reduce the turkey neck. I don't know if the surgery technique would work to make a foreskin, but it may bear further investigation.

The doctors wrote up their results and published it in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, Volume 63, Issue 3, Pages e325-e326 (March 2010), titled: The five-flap technique for the correction of post-circumcision peno-scrotal webbing. The journal article is a pay-to-view article and the cost is $31.50 US.
