Surgery should not be performed unless a medical condition has developed. This is a fundamental concept in surgery [1, 2]. Unless a disease or medical condition is present the risk of surgery cannot be balanced against a risk of disease. If no disease is present no risk can be accepted [1]. This would make male circumcision in infants unacceptable, especially given the risk of death due to blood loss [3,4].
