Histology of the male circumcision scar shows amputation neuromas, Schwann cell proliferation and the bulbous collection of variably sized neurites. Amputation neuromas do not mediate normal sensation and are notorious for generating pain.<ref>{{REFjournal

A study in 2010 estimated approximately 117 neonatal circumcision-related deaths occur annually in the United States, about one out of every 77 male neonatal deaths, more than suffocation, auto accidents, or even SIDS.<refname="Bollinger 2010">{{REFjournal | last=Bollinger | first=Dan |author-link=Dan Bollinger | coauthors=Boy's Health Advisory | title=Lost Boys: An Estimate of U.S. Circumcision-Related Infant Deaths | journal=Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies | volume=4 | issue=1 | pages=78-90 | url=http://www.mensstudies.com/content/b64n267w47m333x0/?p=7ebbd6b446d940cbbd4274c095754b12π=5 | quote= | pubmedID= | pubmedCID= | DOI=10.3149/thy.0401.78 | date=2010-04-26 | accessdate=2019-10-12
