Warning!!!

The following text and photos are extracted from Holman JR, Lewis EL, and Ringler RL. Neonatal Circumcision Techniques. Am Fam Physician 1995;52:511-518.

The following pages contain photos of male genitals. If you object to this, please press "Back" on your web browser now!

The following pages contain photos of actual infant circumcisions, which may be extremely upsetting. Read some of the following text and ask yourself whether you wish to continue...

...when the thumbscrew is loosened...the foreskin will stick to the bell because of the crush...

...the foreskin is peeled back, and any additional adhesions are lysed using a blunt probe...

...none of the definite medical indications for circumcision...are found in the normal neonate...

...the prepuce is lifted in an upward and outward direction...this action causes the glans to retract towards the scrotum, preventing accidental amputation of the glans...

Yes, I have considered the advice above and wish to continue.

No, I do not wish to see these photos at this time. (Press the "Back" button on your web browser)
