Studies have shown multiple long term economic benefits when circumcision is done early on in life. The cost of circumcision performed later in life is relatively higher than that performed early. In older children, circumcision requires general anesthesia, hospital bed utilization and post operative care which significantly increases the direct cost of the procedure compared to a procedure that is done in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Delayed circumcision translates into expedited healthcare costs while circumcising neonates fosters more overall affordable and less risky surgery.
