CIRCUMCISION WEB In Memory of the Sexually Mutilated Child

Circumcision, Circumcise, Circumcised ``Circumcision is one of the oldest known surgical procedures in medicine. Circumcision of males has been widely practiced as a religious rite since ancient times. An initiatory rite of Judaism, circumcision is also practiced by Muslims, for whom it signifies spiritual purification. Although its origins are unknown, earliest evidence of the practice dates from ancient Egypt (2300 BC, see above). By the time of the Roman takeover of Egypt (30 BC), the practice had a ritual significance.. In the United States, Canada, Australia and throughout the Middle East and Africa, circumcision is still performed routinely on boys from infancy to adolescence. Further many males chose this procedure during adulthood. Additionally, some adult females also choose to have this procedure performed. CIRCLIST

Circumcision``The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA) believes that neonatal circumcision has potential medical benefits and advantages as well as disadvantages and risks. Neonatal circumcision is generally a rapid and safe procedure when performed by an experienced operator. There are immediate risks to circumcision such as bleeding, infection and penile injury, as well as complications recognized later that may include buried penis, meatal stenosis, skin bridges, chordee and poor cosmetic appearance. Some of these complications may require surgical correction. Nevertheless, when performed on healthy newborn infants as an elective procedure, the incidence of serious complications is low (usually isolated case reports). Minor complications are reported to be three percent. Properly performed neonatal circumcision prevents phimosis, paraphimosis and balanoposthitis, and may be associated with a decreased incidence of cancer of the penis among U.S. males. In addition, there appears to be a connection between the foreskin and urinary tract infections in the neonate. For the first three to six months of life, the incidence of urinary tract infections is at least ten times higher in uncircumcised than circumcised boys. Evidence associating circumcision with reduced incidence of sexually transmitted diseases is conflicting. Circumcision may be required in a small number of boys when phimosis, paraphimosis or recurrent balanoposthitis occur and may be requested for ethnic and cultural reasons after the newborn period. Circumcision in these children usually requires general anesthesia. When circumcision is being discussed with parents and informed consent obtained, medical benefits and risks, and ethnic, cultural, religious and individual preferences should be considered. The risks and disadvantages of circumcision are encountered early whereas the advantages and benefits may be prospective. The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA)
