Abstract

Circumcision remains the most common operation performed in males in the United States. When performed by an experienced operator, circumcision is usually a safe and simple operation. The medical benefits of circumcision appear to exceed the risks of the procedure. The history, embryology, indications, techniques, and complications of neonatal circumcision are discussed.
