I don't know if a "standard procedure" exists for baby circ's but I do know hospital circ's remove the frenulum, if it's present.
In many infants, the foreskin and glans are bonded together and the surgeon inserts a blunt instrument and rips the two apart. When that's done, the frenulum is ripped or torn out rather than cut.
Even for adult circ's, they usually remove the frenulum. It's very difficult to retain the frenulum if the frenar band is removed.
