Should you circumcise your newborn son? under Tricare Overseas Program (TOP) in the UK

Circumcision in newborn is very common in USA (58%).

Ideal age of newborn circumcision is 3 days to 6 weeks.

Male infant circumcision is far more common in the United States than it is in most developed countries.

The paediatric urologists agree that parents should consider the medical benefits and risks of circumcision in the context of religious, social and cultural preferences.

Morgan clamp for newborn male circumcision

Mogen clamp is commonly used for Jewish circumcision (brit milah). Other methods for baby circumcision are Gomco clamp circumcision and forceps guided circumcision. In my experience, these methods are not superior to Circumplast or Plastibell circumcision in newborn circumcision.

The complications specific to Mogen clamp circumcision include injury to the glans if it is not below the inferior edge of the clamp, and an asymmetric incomplete circumcision due to malpositioning of the clamp (typically more redundancy ventrally).
