TECHNICAL REPORTMale CircumcisionabstractMale circumcision consists of the surgical removal of s<strong>om</strong>e, or all, of theforeskin (or prepuce) fr<strong>om</strong> the penis. It is one of the most c<strong>om</strong>mon proceduresin the world. In the United States, the procedure is c<strong>om</strong>monly performedduring the newborn period. In 2007, the American Academy ofPediatrics (AAP) convened a multidisciplinary workgroup of AAP membersand other stakeholders to evaluate the evidence regarding male circumcisionand update the AAP’s 1999 rec<strong>om</strong>mendations in this area. The TaskForce included AAP representatives fr<strong>om</strong> specialty areas as well as membersof the AAP Board of Directors and liaisons representing the AmericanAcademy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians andGynecologists, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. TheTask Force members identified selected topics relevant to male circumcisionand conducted a critical review of peer-reviewed literature by usingthe American Heart Association’s template for evidence evaluation.Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newbornmale circumcision outweigh the risks; furthermore, the benefits ofnewborn male circumcision justify access to this procedure for familieswho choose it. Specific benefits fr<strong>om</strong> male circumcision were identified forthe prevention of urinary tract infections, acquisition of HIV, transmissionof s<strong>om</strong>e sexually transmitted infections, and penile cancer. Male circumcisiondoes not appear to adversely <strong>af</strong>fect penile sexual function/sensitivity or sexual satisfaction. It is imperative that those providing circumcisionare adequately trained and that both sterile techniques andeffective pain management are used. Significant acute c<strong>om</strong>plicationsare rare. In general, untrained providers who perform circumcisions havemore c<strong>om</strong>plications than well-trained providers who perform the procedure,regardless of whether the former are physicians, nurses, or traditionalreligious providers.Parents are entitled to factually correct, nonbiased information about circumcisionand should receive this information fr<strong>om</strong> clinicians before conceptionor early in pregnancy, which is when parents typically makecircumcision decisions. Parents should determine what is in the best interestof their child. Physicians who counsel families about this decisionshould provide assistance by explaining the potential benefits and risksand ensuring that parents understand that circumcision is an electiveprocedure. The Task Force strongly rec<strong>om</strong>mends the creation, revision,and enhancement of educational materials to assist parents of maleinfants with the care of circumcised and uncircumcised penises. The TaskForce also strongly rec<strong>om</strong>mends the development of educational materialsfor providers to enhance practitioners’ c<strong>om</strong>petency in discussingcircumcision’s benefits and risks with parents.The Task Force made the following rec<strong>om</strong>mendations:TASK FORCE ON CIRCUMCISIONKEY WORDcircumcisionABBREVIATIONSAAFP—American Academy of Family PhysiciansAAP—American Academy of PediatricsACOG—American College of Obstetricians and GynecologistsBV—bacterial vaginosisCB—caudal blockCDC—Centers for Disease Control and PreventionCDM—Charge Data MasterCI—confidence intervalDPNB—dorsal penile nerve blockHPV—human papill<strong>om</strong>avirusHSV—herpes simplex virusIELT—Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency TimesMSM—men who have sex with menNHDS—National Hospital Discharge SurveyNIS—National Inpatient SampleOR—odds ratioRCT—rand<strong>om</strong>ized controlled trialSTI—sexually transmitted infectionUTI—urinary tract infectionThis document is copyrighted and is property of the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics and its Board of Directors.
