The oldest method of removing the [[foreskin]] uses just a few instruments. In the simplest case, the [[foreskin]] is pulled out with a cord, a knife is placed directly above the [[Glans penis|glans]], and the skin finally cut with a hit on the blunt edge of the knife. No stitches are placed and the skin is left to grow together naturally. | The oldest method of removing the [[foreskin]] uses just a few instruments.
