Another reason for circumcision: ease of catheterization. Ever try to stick a urinary catheter into an uncircumsized penis? Particularly when the patient is elderly and everything is saggy? Even when the patient is younger, and the penis is flaccid, it is a major PITA to catheterize some uncircumcised penises. Nurses and (resident) physicians will thank you down the road. It's also quite a bit less stinky (at least in the hospitalized and nursing home patient population I'm used to seeing) to be a "crew cut" as opposed to a "turtleneck." Whether or not you believe the penile cancer link is up to you.

I'd have to echo the sentiments recommending neonatal snipping, too. I've done it in newborns, kids, teenagers, adults, and elderly. It's a lot less traumatic to do it in the babies.
