Both R Micha and R. Zev provided arguments that metzitza is integral to the
performance of brit milah. But nothing either has written indicates that
metzitza b'peh is the only mandated method to accomplish metztitza. Unless
that is so, then the question remains, if the mandated metzitza can be
accomplished in a way that eliminates pikuach nefesh concerns, what is the
justification and/or the source requiring metzitza b'peh in light of the
possibility, however remote, of fatal consequences?
