We appreciate the thoughtful commentary provided in response to our parent survey assessing reasons for delay of neonatal circumcision. Some families appear to experience delay of desired neonatal circumcision due to procedure availability. For others, there may be an educational gap whereby they are unaware of the implications of waiting for a circumcision until their child is a bit older (ie, need for surgical consultation and anesthesia). Furthermore, the process by which a family requests and obtains a neonatal circumcision is often unclear, and varies by hospital and region of the country.
