The Law of Circumcision on Rosh Hashanah

Question

Are there special laws for a circumcision on Rosh Hashanah?

Answer

Greetings,
The only thing I found is that the time of the circumcision should be between the Torah reading and the blowing of the shofar.
And if the mohel (the person performing the circumcision) is also the one blowing the shofar, there is a point that he leave some of the blood on his mouth to serve as a reminder of the merit of the circumcision at the time of the blowing.
