Circumcision is far less common now in the United States than it once was. While during the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007.

The typical equipment for circumcision are: Betadine solution, local anaesthetic, scalpel, sharp scissors, haemostats, plastic or metal bell shaped device to cover the glans to protect it from accidental incision, sharp scissors, fenestrated cloth or paper drape, and fine suture. According to the wisdom of some it is better to subject newborn infants the excruciating pain involved in the procedure as local anaesthetic is not particularly effective and general anaesthetic is dangerous.
