Indeed, there have been studies showing benefits. I will say, however, that if you look at some of the information in more detail on these studies the only one where circumcision provides a statistically significant benefit is HIV. Though this is more preventable through safe sex practices, so it's hard to say how much of an impact this makes. This is why the AAP has stated it is still up to the parents.
