A think an important distinction is being missed. A traditional Jewish circumcision performed by a mohel at a bris is NOT the same procedure as a medical cicrumcision performed at a hospital.

Unlike the traditional Jewish method, when circumcision is performed by a urologist or other surgeon (as opposed to a mohel) the foreskin is removed by constriction, either with the use of clamps or a synthetic ring. This method works by crushing the skin until it is severed. The nerve endings and the blood vessels are severed in the same manner, causing pain and homeostasis.
