| | Lakshmanan/Prakash: Human prepuce - structure & function |
 | | The inner lining of the prepuce is thicker and firmer, which again is in accordance with its function, since it impinges against the corona, during erection and coitus. | | | The present study was undertaken to find an explanation as to what makes the prepuce fit the glans so closely and the qualitative and quantitative changes in its structure in relation to age. | | | The prepuce, a cowl like fold of the skin, covering the glans penis, has received scant attention from the anatomists or surgeons. |

| | Through ignorance of the anatomy of the prepuce in infancy, mothers and nurses are often instructed to draw the child's foreskin back regularly, on the supposition that stretching of the foreskin is what is required. | | | It may be apposite at this stage to quote the reasons given by the mother for desiring her child's circumcision in a series of 54 infants referred to hospital by a doctor. | | | In this age group, however, retraction of a hitherto unretracted prepuce discovers inspissated smegma, which, in contrast to that found in the younger child, is in some cases malodorous. |
