Key points

Non-retractile foreskin can be a normal developmental process in boys under 4 years of age.

Circumcision is indicated if there are recurrent infections, or if there is narrowing with scarring.
Circumcision is a safe operation that can be performed with out the need for over-night stay.
For a good cosmetic result, and minimal complications, it has to be performed by a well trained surgeon.
