==What happens during a circumcision==
The AAP has omitted informing parents that, should they grant consent for a [[circumcision]], their infant son would be immobilized by being strapped a plastic restraint device called a [[circumstraint]]. The circumstraint has been compared to a "medieval torture device" by Dr. Michael S. Green.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/Circumstraint |title=Circumstraint |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher=IntactiWiki |date=2021-03-21 |accessdate=2025-07-13}}</ref>
===Reasons why parents may choose circumcision===
<b>Medical benefits.</b> The claim that the "benefits outweigh the risks" was put forward in the 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement, but received so much criticism that the statement was allowed to expired in 2017. The benefits do not outweigh the risks and malefits. [[Circumcised]] boys have three times as many penile complaints compared with [[foreskinned]] boys.<ref name=fendereski2024">{{REFjournal
