			==Scrotal injury==
			Bar-Yosef et al. (2019) reported twelve cases of [[circumcision]] injuries which involved the scrotum during [[Brit Milah\| ritual circumcision]]. The injuries were described as "mostly superficial", however six required treatment under anaesthesia or in the emergency department.<ref name="bar-yosef2019">{{REFjournal

	Having the scrotum and testicles situated outside the abdominal cavity may provide additional advantages. The external scrotum is not affected by abdominal pressure. This may prevent the emptying of the testes before the sperm were matured sufficiently for fertilization<ref name="Van de Graaff 1989"/>. Another advantage is it protects the testes from jolts and compressions associated with an active lifestyle. Animals that move at a steady pace – such as elephants, whales, and marsupial moles – have internal testes and no scrotum.<ref>{{REFweb		Having the scrotum and testicles situated outside the abdominal cavity may provide additional advantages.
