  • Description: Circumcisions are considered a rite of passage for older male children in the Philippines, often done at seven to ten years old. For many medical students in the country, these are also the first surgical procedures that they perform. Here, the paper does not contain instructions; circumcisions are sometimes performed in resource-limited settings, which can include the use of paper recycled for the surgery.
