The idea of circumcision is to remove only the lose tubular piece of mucosal skin known as the prepuce or foreskin. leaving the rest of covering skin of the penis and frenulum alone. However in the case of infant circumcision this is not so easily achieved as a newborns penis is so small. The result should be to leave the glans penis totally unprotected and exposed to the elements. This form of male genital mutilation is a religious and cultural rite. any medical benefit is denied by all major medical schools and organisations.
