What it is
This is circumcision by surgical removal of the foreskin in a boy older than 28 days or an adult, rather than with a newborn clamp. It is done for medical reasons such as a tight foreskin or repeated infections, or by personal choice.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery. The surgeon's fee and anesthesia are usually billed separately.
