To Circumcise or Not

Pages 201-207 | Published online: 17 May 2016
 

Abstract

The link to urinary tract infection during infancy has renewed the neonatal circumcision debate, with all of its emotional overtones. Proponents maintain that the intact prepuce invites bacterial colonization, and this in turn can lead to permanent renal damage. Opponents cite disadvantages and risks of the procedure. An effort is made to separate facts from assumptions.
