Circumcision
Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. The foreskin is the fold of skin covering the end of the penis, which can be gently pulled back.
Circumcision may be performed for:
- Religious reasons – circumcision is a common practice in the Jewish and Islamic faiths
- Medical reasons, although alternative treatments are usually preferred to circumcision.

Hernia Repair, Umbilical
A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall.

An umbilical hernia appears as a lump near the navel (bellybutton) that may get bigger when your child laughs, coughs, cries or goes to the toilet. It may shrink when your child is relaxed or lying down.
Umbilical hernias are very common and affect 10% of infants and young children. They are especially common in babies who are born prematurely.

An umbilical hernia is not painful. In 85% of cases, the umbilical hernia goes back in and the muscles reseal before the child's first birthday.

Difficulty Swallowing – Dysphagia
Difficulty swallowing is also called dysphagia. It is usually a sign of a problem with your throat or esophagus -the muscular tube that moves food and liquids from the back of your mouth to your stomach. Although dysphagia can happen to anyone, it is most common in older adults, babies, and people who have problems of the brain or nervous system.

There are many different problems that can prevent the throat or esophagus from working properly. Some of these are minor, and others are more serious. If you have a hard time swallowing once or twice, you probably do not have a medical problem. But if you have trouble swallowing on a regular basis, you may have a more serious problem that needs treatment.
