Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Circumcision is a relatively simple procedure. The foreskin is removed just behind the head of the penis using a scalpel or surgical scissors. Any bleeding can be stopped using heat (cauterisation), and the remaining edges of skin will be stitched together using dissolvable stitches.

Detailed explanation-2: -Circumcision removes the foreskin covering the glans (head) of the penis. Usually, babies undergo circumcision shortly after birth. Circumcision began as a religious rite. Today, people get circumcised for religious, medical and cultural reasons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The doctor will make an incision just below the head of the penis and remove the whole foreskin with a scalpel or surgical scissors. They will then close the incision with dissolvable stitches that attach the skin of your penis to below the head. The stitches usually disappear within two to three weeks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Circumcision ranks among the world’s most common surgeries (and one of the oldest). After its removal, most foreskin is tossed as biological waste-but when they’re kept around, the leftover cells have proven a vital asset to medical research.
