i heard girls have part of their clitoris removed.
Explanation provided for adults - retraction (no retraction done
during surgery if the patient is an infant or a child, since there
is a connective tissue that attaches the foreskin to the penis.
much like a nail to the nail bed).
Under normal condition prior to circumcision, your penile head
would be covered by the foreskin. The purpose of circumcision is
the removal of the foreskin itself to reveal the head. It has been
proven that it can prevent a potential niche for colonization of
bacteria as most males previously (I guess even now) do not care
for their perineal hygiene and with the foreskin intact, one has to
actually retract and clean it everyday. The warmth and dampness
allows such place to be housed by all sorts of microbes.
Prior to removing the foreskin, an incision is make (imagine a
toilet roll without it's tissue) in the upper part (there are of
course many procedures done to stop excessive flow of bleeding, but
this is too complex and serves no purpose to its description
here)...
Once the incision is done, it is retracted and the penis. is
protected with a certain device to prevent injuries... The foreskin
is then rolled back over the device and a string is tied around the
penile region to cease blood supply to the area temporarily. It is
then cut off and the attached devices removed carefully.
I hope you can imagine
