== What the AAP says ==
On 27 August 2012 the [[American Academy of PediatriciansPediatrics]] (AAP) presented a new Policy Statement on Circumcision and Technical Report (which expired in 2017) stating that "the benefits outweigh the risks", yet when it comes to severe complications like the ones presented here, the technical report states that "Financial costs of care, emotional tolls, or the need for future corrective surgery (with the attendant anesthetic risks, family stress, and expense) are unknown".<ref>{{REFjournal

The AAP has a long-standing policy that all policy or position statements expire after five years unless re-affirmed. The AAP did NOT reaffirm its 27 August 2012 statements so they expired and became inoperative in August 2017.
The AAP has had NO official position statement on male circumcision since August 2017.
== [[UNAIDS]] ==
"[S]ome of the serious [[Risks and complications| complications ]] that can occur during the procedure include [[death ]] from excess [[bleeding ]] and [[amputation ]] of the [[glans penis]]. Postoperative complications include the formation of [[skin bridges ]] between the shaft and the glans, [[infection]], urinary retention (this has caused deaths), meatal ulcer, impetigo, fistulas, [[Penis| loss of penile sensitivity]], sexual dysfunction and oedema of the [[glans]]." They also acknowledge that the frequency of complications is "underestimated because events occuring occurring after the discharge are not captured [in the discharge sheet]" and sometimes are treated at a different hospital.<ref>{{REFweb
