The AAP supplemented the 1975 statement in 1977 by stating:
<blockquote>There are no medical indications for [[Routine Infant Circumcision|routinecircumcisions]] circumcisions, and the procedure cannot be considered an essential component of health care.

Circumcision must never be done at time of delivery.<ref>{{REFbook
