→Complication rates: emphasize percentages
== Complication rates ==
In fact, of course, not all possible [[complication]] rates have the same frequency and therefore not the same relevance. It is necessary to collect statistics on which complications are serious. Basically, however, it should be noted that circumcision without a medical indication is the most unnecessary complication in itself, with a '''100% rate'''.
The German Academy of Children and Youth Medicine (DAKJ) (2012) conducted an internet survey of medical practices and determined a serious complication rate of '''approx. 6% ''' based on the reported data.<ref>{{REFweb

Lau ''et al.''.

The authors reported an incidence of neonatal circumcision of in Utah of '''29 percent ''' and an incidence of complications of '''11.5 percenʈpercent'''.<ref name="lau2018">{{REFjournal
