Circumcision (handout)

In Australia most newborn boys were once circumcised routinely. It then decreased precipitously in the 1970s-80s, but is now rising again. Currently 66% of Australian-born and 91% of US-born white men are circumcised. The possible advantages of circumcision include:

• reduction in the risk of inflammation and infection of the foreskin
• reduction in UTIs
• reduction in the risk of the man’s female partner being infected by chlamydia or getting cervical cancer

Dr Foote has been performing circumcision of newborn boys in his rooms for over 15 years, with the assistance of a registered nurse. Meticulous attention is paid to excellent analgesia with:

• the use of anaesthetica cream one hour before, and

• the insertion of a nerve block ten minutes before the surgery

The procedure is usually is completed in less than 30 minutes. More information.
