Mohels In NYC Fight For their ‘Rite’ Of Infecting And/Or Killing ...

Some five months after doctors reattach urethra tissue, infant is on his way to a full recovery • “Had the patient been an adult, things could have been more complicated … patient’s young age meant organ’s blood supply was very high,” physician says

Urologists at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem have successfully reattached part of a baby’s penis following a botched circumcision. The baby was rushed to the hospital some five months ago after his family noticed he was bleeding profusely following the procedure. His doctors said the mohel, who was in charge of performing the ritual under Jewish law, cut part of the urethra rather than just the foreskin.

The baby was rushed to the hospital shortly after the circumcision. Even before the baby arrived, the head of the Pediatric Urology Unit at the center, Professor Ezekiel Landau, and Dr. Guy Hidas, a pediatric urologist, were told to report immediately to the emergency room and prepare for surgery.

“The baby was admitted with severe bleeding, and we immediately proceeded to suture the affected area, under local anaesthesia of course,” Hidas said. “The parents were understandably much more concerned than we were, and they had little hope. They have had a tormenting few months,” he noted.

Hidas said that 80% of the reattached tissue was successfully accepted by the body. “The operation was carried out some two hours after the circumcision took place. Had the patient been an adult, things could have been more complicated, but the infant’s young age meant that the organ’s blood supply was very high, which was very conducive to his recovery.”

“The baby will need at least one more surgery in the coming year, but it is unlikely that this will have long-term impact on his reproductive system,” he said.

According to the Health Ministry’s statistics, complications following circumcision take place in less than 1% of cases, and the most common complication involves excessive bleeding.

  1. As many Americans know many US States have a law FORCING a male baby to be circumcised one parent at this very moment is being taken to law by the State they live in. Up comes the pro-circumcision lobby with all sorts of hygiene ,medical advice to say its a good thing BUT what is NOT talked about is female circumcision say that and the World condemns you . But it is a fact ,and please check on it ,a female produces much more “”glandular fluid ” than a male and there are as many females who dont wash themselves there as there are men. Women are just as easy to contract VD but its not so obvious but could end their ability to become pregnant . Harsh facts ? / Of coarse but the truth but nobody admits it.

  2. Mark,
    Of course, I would pay for this kind of article that I could include into the book I am working on. I mean that I am asking you to write it for myself. It is not a suggestion about something you might post on your “excellent” website”.
