Circumcision is the commonest surgical procedure carried out in boys. It was initially done
for religious and cultural reasons and only in recent century the procedure was medically
done. Many papers have shown circumcision epidemiologically reduces UTIs (Urinary Tract
Infection) however, some authors
consider these data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision. Others
have corroborated the association between foreskin presence and an increased incidence of
UTIs. Here, we evaluate the preventive effect of neonatal circumcision on urinary tract
infection and review the controversial.
