Medical Risks and Benefits of Newborn Male Circumcision in the United States: Physician Perspectives

Conclusions:
In 2008, only about one-third of the physicians surveyed thought that the benefits of male circumcision outweighed the risks and recommended it to parents of newborn sons. These attitudes may be relevant to the declining circumcision rates in the United States. Repeat surveys may be useful, given the new AAP and ACOG recommendations.
