Circumcision Questions

Peter A. Anderson MD, FAAP1 and Robert D. Schwarz MD, FAAP1

1 Department of Urology, Dalhousie University, Izaak Walton Killam Children's Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3J 3G9

The article by Wiswell et al (Pediatrics 1993;92:791-793) on the circumcision rate of boys beyond the neonatal period reports findings that we do not find surprising: if less circumcisions are done on neonates, more will be done at a later age. One would presume that a similar study on the tonsifiectomy rate would show that because young children no longer undergo routine removal of this organ, the operation is now more commonly done in older children.
