Circumcision is a routine procedure in some cultures. Different techniques are used as surgical methods. Unfortunately some of them cause tragic and irreversible complications. This article that includes distinct photographs highlights the undesirable consequences clearly and accurately. Because of pointing out the worrying cases in a certain way, I consider that publishing this article in BMJ will be educatory for medical society.
