Neonatal circumcision

The merits of neonatal circumcision continue to be hotly debated. The vast majority of the world's male population remains uncircumcised; however, the majority of boys born in the US continue to undergo neonatal circumcision. Review of existing literature supports that an overwhelming majority of ch ildren who are uncircumcised do very well from a medical standpoint and, th us, the question of whether the US health care practitioners are subjecting neonates to an unnecessary surgical procedure remains.
