Since 2015 there have been over 200 cases of boys being hospitalised with complications following the controversial procedure
Just today we had a complication due to a circumcision. Last Friday there was another case. I estimate that we have two serious complications following circumcisions here every month,” Torsten Lauritsen, a leading doctor at the city hospital Rigshospitalet, told TV2 News.
Amputation and missing skin
The stats showed that over the past five years a total of 212 hospitalisations involving “complications after circumcision” have been registered.
In 32 of the cases, a diagnosis was
behind the hospitalisation, but in the remaining 180 cases a
circumcision was performed despite no diagnosis being made
