Routine circumcision: the opposing view

by Tally-admin on May 6, 2010
Visit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2422979/

Article by Dr. Andrew E. MacNeily, FRCSC, FAAP, published in Canada Urological Association Journal: Can Urol Assoc J. 2007 November; 1(4): 395397. Dr. MacNeily addresses the common myths that male infant cicrumcision has medical benefits. Using evidence based analysis, he disputes various claims and gives sound reasons why there is no benefit sufficient to justify infant circumcision.

Unfortunately, Dr. MacNeily does not address the current evidence that refutes many previous studies and information. For example, he says that penile cancer is reduced compared with uncircumcised men, although the American Cancer Society states that other factors contribute to penile cancer.

Circumcision policy: A psychosocial perspective

by Tally-admin on May 6, 2010
Visit http://www.circumcision.org/policy.htm

An article by Ronald Goldman, PhD, published in Paediatrics & Chid Health, Vol. 9, No. 9, pp. 630-33 (November 2003).  The article provides a very good overview of the current social standing of male infant circumcision. The author makes the point that the current reluctance to confront the religious issue undermines the core values (e.g., the health of the patient is paramount) and ethics (e.g., first, do no harm) that drive medical decision-making.

Delicate decision (male infant circumcision)

by Tally-admin on May 3, 2010
Visit http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/31/health/he-circumcision31

Article from the LA Times published March 31, 2008. The news article reports various facts:

  • Penile cancer affects only 1 in 100,000 men
  • In the first year of life, 1 in 100 uncircumcised boys will develop a urinary tract infection. Only 1 in 1,000 circumcised boys will. "While that's a tenfold reduction, you have to keep in mind that the risk was only 1% to begin with," says Dr. Andrew Freedman, pediatric urologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Proper hygiene can prevent most infections.
  • In 1965, 85% of boys born in the United States were circumcised
  • as of 2005, 56% of newborn boys were circumcised, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
  • 75% of boys born in the Midwest were circumcised, 65% in the Northeast, 56% in the South and only 31% in the West
  • Worldwide, only 25% of males are circumcised, and that is mostly for religious or cultural reasons.

Lost Boys: An Estimate of U.S. Circumcision-Related Infant Deaths

by Tally-admin on April 27, 2010

Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies: Lost Boys: An Estimate of U.S. Circumcision-Related Infant DeathsArticle published in Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies, Vol. 4, No. 1 / Spring 2010. doi 10.3149/thy.0401.78.

Author Dan Bollinger presents a study regarding circumcision deaths. Baby boys can and do succumb as a result of having their foreskin removed by circumcision. Circumcision-related mortality rates are not known with certainty; this study estimates the scale of this problem. This study finds that approximately 117 neonatal circumcision-related deaths (9.01/100,000) occur annually in the United States, about 1.3% of male neonatal deaths from all causes. Because infant circumcision is elective, all of these circumcision deaths are avoidable. This study also identifies reasons why accurate data on these deaths are not available, some of the obstacles to preventing these deaths, and some solutions to overcome them.

Article published in Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies, Vol. 4, No. 1 / Spring 2010. doi 10.3149/thy.0401.71.

Author J. Steven Svoboda discusses how genital integrity advocates struggle to safeguard all children from genital cutting. Gender equity activists promote true equality of men and women. Commonalities and differences between the two movements are very illuminating. Three words relevant to genital integrity are: exceptional, muddle, and discomfort.

Case number and the financial impact of circumcision in reducing prostate cancer

by Tally-admin on April 14, 2010
Visit http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2007.06875.x/full

A paper published BJU International, Vol. 100, Issue 1, pp 5-6 (April 2007).  Three avid pro-circumcision advocates wrote a paper justifying male circumcision as a preventative against prostate cancer. The authors claim that lack of circumcision is a risk factor of prostate cancer.

Dr. Van Howe responded to the Morris paper in the BJU International, Vol. 100, Issue 5, pp. 1193-94 (2007). Dr. Van Howe identified faults and unsubstantiated assumptions in the original paper. He states, "The concept of using circumcision to reduce prostate cancer risk has no biological or epidemiological foundation. Even if one is willing to depart from reality and use the most extreme assumptions as put forth by Morris et al., circumcision of infants is not cost-effective."
