There's no date on that article but that website appears to have archives going back as far as 1996, reading between the lines I'm assuming this is a very old anecdote at this point.

So yeah it's old news now, but if this was 1996 it may well have been the first before/during/after MRI data of the procedure and warranted publishing on that merit alone.

[Edit - quick Google Fu and there's another copy of this exact retrospective out there dated 2009. So it was at least before then.]

[Ed #2, some pro circumcision article trying to defame the guy says it was allegedly carried out in 1998]
