| Abstract: | The foreskin is an organ which holds surprising cultural importance. Male circumcision is the surgical removal of all or part of the foreskin of the penis and is undertaken for medical, religious, cultural or social reasons. There can be complications and surgeons must carefully consider the benefits and the potential risks before undertaking the operation. |
