CircumsisionCircumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the skin covering the end of the penis, called the foreskin. In many cultures, circumcision is a religious rite or a ceremonial tradition. It is most common in Jewish and Islamic faiths.
The goal of the circumcision method is to separate the foreskin from the head of the penis. A small slit is cut in the foreskin and a clamp is put in place to reduce bleeding. The foreskin is then snipped off and removed.
The obstetrician, in the hospital, usually performs circumcision. When it is done for religious reasons, other persons may do the surgery as part of a ceremony, after the baby is discharged from the hospital.
Circumcision is performed only on healthy babies. Because the procedure is painful, the AAP recommends using some type of local anaesthesia for newborn circumcision. Several types of anaesthesia are available, including a numbing cream or injecting small amounts of anaesthetic around the penis. Although there are risks with any anaesthesia, these are generally considered very safe.
In some children, the foreskin cannot be retracted causing a condition called phimosis. This condition may require circumcision later in childhood.
