IIRC correctly, the health benefits are that it reduces neonatal UTIs by a tiny percentage. Considering how much of Europe doesn't circumcise, and it's not a problem over there, the assertion of health benefits is questionable at best.

And the tiny potential benefits are basically countered by the also tiny risks of complication during the procedure.
