"Male '''circumcision''' (from Latin ''circumcidere'', meaning "to cut around") is the surgical removal of the [[foreskin]] (prepuce) part of the human [[penis]]. The foreskin comprises ''more than fifty percent'' of the epithelium of the penis.<ref name="taylor1996">{{REFjournal |last=Taylor |init=JR |author-link=John R.

It is a radical treatment option for pathological [[phimosis]], refractory [[Balanitis| balanoposthitis]] and chronic [[urinary tract infection]]s (UTIs); it is contraindicated in cases of certain genital structure abnormalities or poor general health.
