L'origine de la circoncision se perd dans la nuit des temps : personne ne sait ni où, ni quand, ni comment cette curieuse intervention chirurgicale a pu surgir. Depuis quand l'homme a-t-il eu la surprenante idée de couper un morceau de son propre pénis ou de celui de son jeune garçon pour instituer du même coup un rituel qui défie le temps ? Castration symbolique ou acte prénuptial ? Substitut de sacrifice humain ou rituel de fertilité ? Rite de passage ou stigmate d'appartenance ? Ou tout cela à la fois ? On reste frappé par l'ancienneté, l'universalité et l'incroyable diversité de formes de la circoncision, dont les origines et les mythes justificateurs se retrouvent chez les peuples sans écriture comme dans deux des grandes religions monothéistes. Sans aucun doute plus vieille énigme de l'histoire de la chirurgie, la circoncision n'en est pas moins devenue, depuis près d'un siècle, surtout dans le monde anglo-saxon, une intervention banalisée, vidée de toute signification symbolique, mais chargée, au gré des modes médicales, de vertus hygiéniques et prophylactiques. Comment s'est opérée cette sécularisation ? Retour sur un geste sanglant à l'origine immémoriale, qui concerne des milliards de garçons de par le monde.

Surgical Guide to Circumcision is a compendium of the who, what, where, why, and most importantly, the how of circumcision. Given that one third of the world’s males have undergone this most ancient of surgical procedures, a contemporary resource on the subject is in order. Most circumcisions are elective with no acute medical necessity; that is, most are done for cultural reasons. Thus, in addition to being a standard surgical guide for those who perform circumcision, this book is an anthology of circumcision, from its prehistoric roots to its present day admixture of religion, culture, and medicine. Surgical Guide to Circumcision is a fully illustrated, step-by-step guide to the most common techniques of circumcision and addresses aspects such as informed consent, religious and cultural sensitivities, pre-exam, post-care, pain control, and prevention and management of potential complications. Written by experts in the field, Surgical Guide to Circumcision will appeal to family physicians, pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, nurses, urologists, and anyone with a general interest in circumcision.

Circumcision affects 15.3 million children and young adults annually. In terms of gender, 13.3 million boys and 2 million girls are subjected to the involuntary removal of part or all of their external sexual organs every year. The problem of female circumcision has been addressed on an international level, but male circumcision remains a controversial subject that many academics have been reluctant to examine. Circumcision is tolerated today because it has been practiced for millennia by a small but vocal minority of religious and ethnic groups, however, when the practice is examined through the lens of modern legal, ethical, and human rights advancements, no place remains in civilized society for this body-altering ritual. In Genital Autonomy: Protecting Personal Choice, international experts address various types of genital modifications, the impact of these harmful traditional practices on the child, on human rights, and on the development of the concept of bodily integrity. The papers presented in this volume address these topics from a variety of angles. They question and dissects the true motivations of the doctors, witch doctors, and “holy men” who promote and profit from circumcision.
