→AUA position statement: typo.
}}</ref> There are many issues with this statement:
* This statement misleadingly uses the word "potential" to suggest the existence of "benefits" that don't actually exist except in someone's imagination.
* This statement claims that non-therapeutic circumcision is safe "when performed by an experienced operateroperator", however infant circumcision is frequently assigned to the most junior and least-experienced operator.
* This statement claims that circumcision prevents [[phimosis]] and [[paraphimosis]], however these are normal developmental conditions and not diseases.
* This statement claims that circumcision prevents [[Balanitis| balanoposthitis]], however the treatment for this inflammation depends on accurate diagnosis of the cause, followed by appropriate treatment.
