Audit of Ring Method Circumcision in Infants and Children
In view of Dr Khan’s experience over many years, he recommends the optimal age of circumcision in children is under 6 months of age.
He advises parents to book their children for circumcision as soon as possible so that they do not miss this optimal infant age.
Medical Literature Support
Medical literature supports this concept:
“Infancy presents the best age for circumcision. It is associated with substantially lower costs, lower risk of complications when performed by an experienced operator in a clinical or other appropriate setting, and lower lifetime risk of a variety of adverse conditions and infections.”
— Dr Morris, in his recent review.
