2010: On November 4, 2010 a Muslim doctor [[circumcised ]] an at the time four years -year-old boy of Muslim parents at their request on the rules of medical art in his practice. Strong [[haemorrhage ]] resulted in that the mother brought the boy on November 6, 2010, in the {{UNI|University Hospital of CologneHospital|UKoeln}}, where the [[bleeding ]] could be stopped. The ''Süddeutsche Zeitung '' reported that the treatment after the [[circumcision ]] was carried out "in general anesthesia". The boy had come for several days in a children's ward. Three dressing changes have also taken place in anesthesia. The doctor's letter also states the exposed [[penis ]] surface and the [[glans ]] were "uneven, corroded and fibrinous". The boy had been for ten days in clinical treatment over all.<ref>{{REFweb

Although the offense of assault was found, the doctor was acquitted due to lack of case law on the subject of the present [[circumcision]], because he had acted in an unavoidable mistake and therefore without guilt (§ 17 sentence 1 Criminal Code). See [[Cologne circumcision court judgment]] for more details.

2019: The Swedish newspaper ''Svenska Dagbladet '' reports that the doctor Peter Borenstein has [[circumcised ]] thousands of boys with sugar solution as the only anesthetic.<ref name="SVD2019">{{REFjournal

}}</ref> The case of the doctor who used "sugar anesthetic" in [[circumcision ]] is now covered by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Social_Care_Inspectorate IVO], the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate. The man, who is also a [[mohel]] in a Jewish community, has spread unscientific claims about the procedure, according to experts. Among other things, he claimed that the cut does not hurt as long afterwards as in older children and adults, because the nerve connections in the brain, by which one has the feeling that it hurts afterwards, are connected only if the child is closer to the age of two months. This no longer corresponds to the state of science.
Peter Borenstein was also the one who told the chairman of the Swedish Central Council of Jews, Aron Verständig, the risk of complications on the eighth day after birth would be as low as possible. Aron Verständig sent an SMS to Svenska Dagbladet as proof, which Borenstein had written:
{{Citation
|Text=När man är nyfödd har man ytterst låga halter av vitamin K samt blodplättar i blodet. Halten stiger därefter snabbt till ett absolut maximum just på åttonde levnadsdagen. Aldrig mer i livet har därför blodet så god förmåga att sluta blöda som just på åttonde dagen.
|Translation=When you are a newborn you have extremely low levels of vitamin K and blood platelets. The level then rises rapidly to an absolute maximum on the eighth day of life. Therefore, never more in life does the blood have as good ability to stop [[bleeding ]] as on the eighth day.

Peter Svensson, a professor of clinical coagulation medicine at {{UNI|Lund University|LU}}, says there are no studies known to him that support Borenstein's claim.
It is expected that the IVO will impose sanctions.
