- Population or material studied
- Inner and outer foreskin samples obtained during elective adult circumcision in Rakai, Uganda.
- Major findings
- Reported no detected difference in keratin thickness between sampled inner and outer foreskin.
- Limitations
- Examines foreskin, not glans tissue, and not tissue before and after restoration. It cannot answer whether sustained restored coverage changes glans histology.
- Relevance to restoration
- Does not demonstrate post-restoration glans dekeratinization.
