When should a preemie be circumcised?

Depends on variables: This procedure, if desired, can be delayed until the kid is stable enough to consider discharge to home care.It can be done around the time of discharge by the method preferred by the physician doing the procedure. I usually do it the day prior to scheduled discharge. In some cases, other issues like a hypospadias might require a delay until much older, when corrective surgery can be scheduled.
