'''Adolescent and adult circumcision''' is rare when compared to the millions upon millions of medically-unnecessary, harmful non-therapeutic [[Circumcision| circumcisions]] of boys that are carried out in [[Islam]]ic nations, [[Israel]], the [[United States]], and elsewhere, however they are promoted by a [[medical trade association| medical trade associations]] and its their membersfor [[Financial incentive| profit]].

* Deformed foreskins — The common type of deformed foreskin is the narrow non-retractable foreskin of [[phimosis]]. Circumcision was the traditional treatment for phimosis, however circumcision is less performed today because newer conservative treatments are now available that preserve the [[foreskin]] and its many useful functions. There is a wide range of normal in foreskin length. Longer foreskins are not deformed, so do ''not'' justify circumcision.

Boys are born with a [[foreskin]] that is non-retractable for reasons of protectionagainst [[trauma]] and [[infection]]. The inner surface is fused with the [[glans penis]] by a [[synechia]] (similar to a fingernail that is glued to the nail bed of the finger). Also the tip of the foreskin is too narrow to retract. As a boy gets older, the synechia disintegrates and releases the foreskin and the foreskin gets wider as a boy ages, so the foreskin gradually becomes [[Retraction of the foreskin| retractable]]. Some boys go through [[puberty ]] but find that their [[foreskin]] is still too narrow to permit retraction.

Adolescent and adult circumcision may also be carried out with one of several plastic, one-use, disposable ring devices. These devices work by clamping the foreskin tightly so that it is crushed and flow is cut off completely. Ischemic [[necrosis]] ensues and the [[foreskin ]] dies. It may then be cut off or left to fall off. Ring devices include the [[TARA KLamp]], the [[PrePex]], [[AccuCirc]], and the [[Shang Ring]].

Recovery from an adult circumcision is frequently said to be six weeks. Recovery does not include restoration of permanently lost functions.

The willingness to expose their lingering trauma signals evolving concepts of masculinity and vulnerability among these former Soviet men. Their voices join the local and international movement opposing medically-unnecessary genital surgeries of any kind – on men, women and intersex people.<ref name="garcía-mesa2021remennick2021">{{REFjournal |last=García-MesaRemennick |first=Yolanda |init=L

# Circumcision invariably excises the [[ridged band]], resulting in partial loss of sensation.

Medical insurance policies vary with the provider of insurance. Most will pay for circumcision only if it is done to treat a medical condition. When circumcision is carried out for cosmetic reasons or personal desire, it is very unlikely that medical insurance would pay. The cost of an adult circumcision would include a facility fee, a surgeon's fee, an anesthesiologists anesthesiologist's fee, and pre-operative and post-operative care. Garrett (2024) says the cost may range from $1,650 to $6,450.<ref name="garrett2024-03-07">{{REFweb

Traditional [[Circumcision]] and Initiation into Manhood (ulwaluko) is an ancient initiation ritual practiced by the amaXhosa of the Eastern Cape region Province of [[South Africa]]. The ritual is traditionally intended as a teaching institution to prepare boys for the responsibilities of manhood. The principles that lie at the very core of the ritual are respect for self (including self control and integrity), respect for family (not to bring shame to them), and respect for community (to protect them from harm).
