Circumcision and the Code of Ethics

by Tally on February 23, 2010
Visit http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/denniston/

Article published in Humane Health Care International, Volume 12, Number 2: Pages 78-80, April 1996. Circumcision is the act of one person removing a part of the penis of another person.

  • Infant circumcision violates the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (Many pro-circ advocates say it is necessary to circumcise infants because adults will not want it done).
  • Infant circumcision violates a major tenet of medical practice: First do no harm.
  • Infant circumcision violates all seven Principles of Medical Ethics.

The five-flap technique for the correction of post-circumcision peno-scrotal webbing

by Tally on February 22, 2010
Visit http://www.jprasurg.com/article/abstracts

The Jerusalem Post reports on a new technique to lengthen the shaft skin for a man with a botched circumcision. Too much skin was removed during circumcision. It sounds like the man had a severe case of turkey neck and the doctors found a way of grafting skin to make that part of the outer skin longer to reduce the turkey neck. I don't know if the surgery technique would work to make a foreskin, but it may bear further investigation.

The doctors wrote up their results and published it in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, Volume 63, Issue 3, Pages e325-e326 (March 2010), titled: The five-flap technique for the correction of post-circumcision peno-scrotal webbing. The journal article is a pay-to-view article and the cost is $31.50 US.

by Tally on February 19, 2010
Visit http://www.springerlink.com/content/9w834626551u8087/

Study published in Pediatric Surgery International, doi 10.1007/s00383-010-2566-9. The authors studied later complications of children who had neonatal circumcisions. Penile adhesions, skin bridges, meatal stenosis, redundant foreskin (incomplete circumcision with uncircumcised appearance), recurrent phimosis, buried penis and penile rotation were the most frequent complications treated after the original circumcision had healed.

Complications of circumcision in male neonates, infants and children: a systematic review

by Tally on February 19, 2010
Visit http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2490/10/2/abstract

A study published in BMC Urology, 2010, 10:2 doi:10.1186/1471-2490-10-2 February 2010. The results showed: "Sixteen prospective studies evaluated complications following neonatal and infant circumcision. Most studies reported no severe adverse events (SAE), but two studies reported SAE frequency of 2%. The median frequency of any complication was 1.5% (range 0-16%). Child circumcision by medical providers tended to be associated with more complications (median frequency 6%; range 2-14%) than for neonates and infants. Traditional circumcision as a rite of passage is associated with substantially greater risks, more severe complications than medical circumcision or traditional circumcision among neonates."

Penile Sensitivity and Sexual Satisfaction after Circumcision: Are We Informing Men Correctly?

by Tally on February 8, 2010
Visit http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstract&ArtikelNr=85930&Ausgabe=230970&ProduktNr=224282

A study published in Urologia Internationalis, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2005 (Urol Int 2005;75:62-66) (DOI: 10.1159/000085930). The authors assessed the effect of circumcision on sexually active men and the relative impact this may have on informed consent prior to surgery. 

The male subjects were circumcised for a benign desease. Penile sensation got worse for 18% of the men who got an adult circumcision. Only 61% of the men were satisfied with their adult circumcision. Considering that circumcision was for a disease, it is significant that not more men were satisfied with the cure.

Circumcision in the United States: Prevalence, Prophylactic Effects, and Sexual Practice

by Tally on February 5, 2010
Visit http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/277/13/1052.abstract

Study published in JAMA, 1997; 277(13): 1052-1057. The objective was to assess the prevalence of circumcision across various social groups and examine the health and sexual outcomes of circumcision. The authors analyzed the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) data to determine the effects of circumcision. The results indicate, "We find no significant differences between circumcised and uncircumcised men in their likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted diseases."

YouTube: The Circumcision Debate

by Tally on February 4, 2010
Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuu07U2FokQ

A radio interview with Dr. Dean Edell with accompanying images. Dr. Edell describes the harm of circumcision and how circumcising men in Africa who consent to the surgery is different than circumcising infants. Dr. Edell also notes that there are no long term studies of the efficacy of circumcision with respect to preventing HIV. The Africa trials were short term studies.
