The supporters of #RIC add reduced risk of UTI to the list of reasons to recommend it. There is a precedent to use amputation in infection, as a LAST RESORT. Surgeons amputate necrotic, avascular, purulent tissue to save a life, AFTER trying every combination of antibiotics by every route, AFTER hyperbaric oxygen. You get the idea. And then to protocol is to cut down only to the bleeding, vital tissues, in order to promote the healing of what is left. Now the [faulty] logic around #circumcision to prevent UTI is that it is primary prevention of a disease that may or may not even occur. They will cut off bleeding, vital tissue. And before trying the first simple oral antibiotic.
