Here’s a diagram, here’s the procedure. I know what the surgery is, I had it offered and chose circumcision. I’m being skeptical of the info here. Look at the artery, then the cut. I was told by a real doctor that it had a higher chance of sepsis, which is why I’m repeating it.pic.twitter.com/iGQgDvxhxj

Here's a study on the subject of preputioplasty that "confirms its low rate of postoperative complications and its good results in terms of preputial retractability and cosmetic outcomes". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC539601/ … I also found another cool one I'm going over now

Actually the thing I was reading isn't quite finished yet, here's a clinical trial still in progress for the rest of this year: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02854995 … Guess I'll keep an eye on that

Another one, suggesting preputioplasty is a "good alternative" to circumcision: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0090429508008467 … And another! https://www.fimose.org/uploads/6/5/5/4/65544215/preputioplastyinchildren.pdf … "Preputioplasty is a faster, easier, relatively painless technique with excellent cosmetic results and lesser complications than" circ

I'm not saying it's impossible for a circumstance to occur where it could be an option, but it should be treated like cutting off an arm: an extreme solution to extreme problems when every other option has failed. Such would be absurdly rare. Routine circumcision is abhorrent

Only 77% of U.S. men are circumcised. It isn’t routine. It has multiple detailed, legitimate medical uses. So tell me if it fits the definition of mutilation? I’m still looking to have my mind changed here.

Amputation of normal functional tissue is mutilation. That's why amputation is considered a last resort for treatment in general. Sometimes in extenuating circumstances it's required to "mutilate" the body to prevent even greater damage or death.
