• Animal Prepuce: Although still in its infancy, the use of foreskin from primates; family Cebidae, has proven to be a viable and cost effective option for many. Other successful trials involving alternatives such as the domestic pig and the common Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) have continued to pave the way for innovations and discoveries.
• Scrotal Tissue: In an absence of available foreskin, scrotal tissue has proven to be yet another transplant option in the making. Dr. J. Allen of the Digby Group in Seattle, was quoted on a recent episode of the Dr. Phil program, “As your scrotum begins to stretch with age, it begins to resemble that of an inverted high-altitude weather balloon. This extra flesh is a reasonable substitute for foreskin and our specialists can now take some of that extra skin from the top of your punching bag and use it to replace your lost and forgotten flesh.”

Related concerns center around repeated operations and the potential adverse physical conditions. As with other cosmetic procedures, ongoing surgeries can result in negative outcomes and in this case, a condition where the testicles literally sit above the shaft. Consult your physician before proceeding with any foreskin donations or scrotal reduction procedures.

Don’t wait, donate! For the time being, newborns continue to provide a bank of foreskin tissue for transplant recipients, but as modern parents continue to alter their traditions and mores, skin banks will decrease and donations will be imperative. Organ donors now have the option to recycle their prepuce for future generations. There’s really no sense in taking it with you.

In conclusion, for years psychiatrists have been aware of the devastating, long-term effects that result from involuntary circumcision at birth. If you are one of the millions of men around the world who have been mutilated with no consultation, help is on the way. The days of living exposed and cold with no respite from the trials of this world may well be a thing of the past.
