The CDC reports only a 0.2% risk of circumcision complications, but there are so many circumcision botches that need surgical corrections a year, enough that there is a market for circumcision botch corrections.

What the AAP says

On 27 August 2012 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) presented a new Policy Statement on Circumcision and Technical Report (which expired in 2017) stating that "the benefits outweigh the risks", yet when it comes to severe complications like the ones presented here, the technical report states that "Financial costs of care, emotional tolls, or the need for future corrective surgery (with the attendant anesthetic risks, family stress, and expense) are unknown".[1]

The AAP has a long-standing policy that all policy or position statements expire after five years unless re-affirmed. The AAP did NOT reaffirm its 27 August 2012 statements so they expired and became inoperative in August 2017.

The AAP has had NO official position statement on male circumcision since August 2017.

UNAIDS

"[S]ome of the serious complications that can occur during the procedure include death from excess bleeding and amputation of the glans penis. Postoperative complications include the formation of skin bridges between the shaft and the glans, infection, urinary retention (this has caused deaths), meatal ulcer, impetigo, fistulas, loss of penile sensitivity, sexual dysfunction and oedema of the glans." They also acknowledge that the frequency of complications is "underestimated because events occurring after the discharge are not captured [in the discharge sheet]" and sometimes are treated at a different hospital.[2]

NOHARMM

An estimated number of complications is calculated in this page.
