  • The Human Foreskin the Foreskin Is Not an Optional Extra for a Man’S Body, Or an Accident
    The Human Foreskin The foreskin is not an optional extra for a man’s body, or an accident. It is an integral, functioning, important component of a man’s penis. An eye does not function properly without an eyelid – and nor does a penis without its foreskin. Among other things, the foreskin provides: Protection The foreskin fully covers the glans (head) of the flaccid penis, thereby protecting it from damage and harsh rubbing against abrasive agents (underwear, etc.) and maintaining its sensitivity Sexual Sensitivity The foreskin provides direct sexual pleasure in its own right, as it contains the highest concentration of nerve endings on the penis Lubrication The foreskin, with its unique mucous membrane, permanently lubricates the glans, thus improving sensitivity and aiding smoother intercourse Skin-Gliding During Erection The foreskin facilitates the gliding movement of the skin of the penis up and down the penile shaft and over the glans during erection and sexual activity Varied Sexual Sensation The foreskin facilitates direct stimulation of the glans during sexual activity by its interactive contact with the sensitive glans Immunological Defense The foreskin helps clean and protect the glans via the secretion of anti-bacterial agents What circumcision takes away The foreskin is at the heart of male sexuality. Circumcision almost always results in a diminution of sexual sensitivity; largely because removing the foreskin cuts away the most nerve-rich part of the penis (up to 80% of the penis’s nerve endings reside in the foreskin) [1]. The following anatomy is amputated with circumcision: The Taylor “ridged band” (sometimes called the “frenar band”), the primary erogenous zone of the male body.

Abdel Aziz, Samir H.Gouda, Sayed H.Abdalla, Sabri M. Khaled, and Ahmed T. Sayed Paediatric Surgery, Urology, And Plastic Departments, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY Objectives: A concealed penis or inconspicuous penis is defined as a phallus of normal size buried in prepubic tissue (buried penis), enclosed in scrotal tissue (webbed penis), or trapped by scar tissue after penile surgery (trapped penis). We report our results using a standardized surgical approach that was highly effective in both functional and cosmetic terms. Materials and Methods: From April 2003 to October 2007, Surgery for hidden penis from multiple causes was performed in 80 children. Their age ranged from 10 months to 8 years (mean 4.2 years). Tacking sutures were taken from the subdermis of the ventral penoscrotal junction to the tunica albuginea in some cases. A combination procedure with tacking of the penopubic subdermis to the rectus fascia, penoscrotal Z plasty, circumcision revision or lateral penile shaft Z plasty also was performed in some patients. Results: Cosmetic improvement was noted in all cases except one patient that needed re- fixation of the Buck’s fascia to the dermis without significant complications. Conclusions: Surgery for hidden penis achieves marked aesthetic and often functional improvement. Degloving the penis to release any abnormal attachment then fixing the Buck’s fascia to the dermis of the skin has an essential role in preventing penile retraction in most cases. INTRODUCTION Concealed or inconspicuous penis is an uncommon condition that may present from infancy to adolescence.
