Ligamentotomy - surgical intervention for penis enlargement, pros and cons

Representatives of the stronger sex are almost always dissatisfied with the size of their manhood. To lengthen the penis, they start using various drugs, ointments and creams. Desperate men undergo an operation to enlarge the penis - ligamentotomy. The procedure allows you to enlarge the penis by several centimeters.

Indications

A ligamentotomy is a surgical procedure for penis enlargement characterized by cutting the suspensory ligament. The ligament is located deep in the pelvis and is attached to the bony apparatus, and can be long enough to cross it and enlarge the penis. Dissection of the ligament allows stretching of the penis with the help of an extender, resulting in an increase in length of up to 5 cm.

Surgery is performed when:

  • Peyronie's disease;
  • the length of the penis is less than 12 cm;
  • cavernous fibrosis;
  • hereditary, congenital pathological conditions of male dignity;
  • distortion of the phallus;
  • decreased levels of sex hormones;
  • insufficient development and formation of the male genital organs as a result of a lack of choriongonadotropic hormone;
  • pathologies of male dignity;
  • changes in size as a result of injury and damage to the phallus;
  • hypospadias and epispadias;
  • changes that occur during a man's adulthood;
  • prolonged sexual arousal and prolonged pathological erection;
  • reduced self-esteem with insufficient penis size;
  • a man's individual desire to increase his masculinity.

Preparation

A second consultation with a surgeon is required to perform a ligamentotomy. During the visit, the doctor collects the patient's medical history, warns about the risks and effectiveness of the operation, and also sends for diagnostics. You must go through:

  • fluorography;
  • tests for HIV, syphilis;
  • blood tests for sexually transmitted diseases;
  • examination by a psychiatrist;
  • electrocardiogram;
  • general, biochemical analysis of blood, urine;
  • blood tests for Rh, blood type;
  • diagnostics for the presence of hepatitis B and C;
  • bacteriological smear from the urethral canal;
  • consultation with an anesthesiologist, as well as, if necessary, visits to other specialists.

Surgical manipulation is prescribed in the morning. The night before the operation you should:

  • Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking;
  • limiting food intake;
  • eliminating the use of drugs;
  • remove hair from the groin, genitals and scrotum.

Come for a ligamentotomy exactly at the specified time with all the necessary documents and tests.

Operation

The manipulation mechanism takes place in several stages. Initially, the patient is given anesthesia for pain relief. During the consultation, the type of anesthesia will be discussed.

Surgical intervention is performed in two ways.

Through the pubis

Initially, surgeons used this method. This technique is not positive due to multiple scars, trauma to the penis, and the duration of the intervention is more than 60 minutes. The type of ligamentotomy has more contraindications and negative factors, as a result of which it is no longer performed.

Through the scrotum

The surgeon makes an incision in the upper part of the scrotum. It cuts the ligament, after which it becomes possible to separate and expand the penis from the tissues. The doctor fixes the phallus in a new position. The penis is extended from the tunnel space using a specialized device - an extender. The cavity is filled with autologous fat. Then the stitches are applied. The duration of the surgical intervention is from 15 to 30 minutes.

During the healing period, a scar forms between the pubic area and the penis, which prevents the penis from returning to its place.

Consequences

Manipulation is not a complicated process, so complications and side effects occur quite rarely. Rare cases may show:

  • suppuration and infection of the wound;
  • bleeding;
  • lack of result;
  • swelling of the penis;
  • violation of male dignity;
  • erectile dysfunction;
  • hematomas;
  • reduced sensitivity of the penis;
  • formation of scars on the surface of the phallus.

If one of the symptoms appears, you should contact your doctor for help and elimination of the defects.

Rehabilitation

After the operation, the patient remains in a medical facility under the supervision of medical personnel.

To prevent negative painful and inflammatory processes, the patient is prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and pain relievers. Medicines, duration, dosage and method of administration are determined by the doctor individually for each patient.

The sutures are removed 7-8 days after the procedure. After discharge, the doctor determines the home regimen and wound care. Rehabilitation includes:

  1. Regular use of medicines as directed by the doctor.
  2. Avoid sexual and physical activity for up to three weeks.
  3. Wearing specialized underwear that keeps the penis in one position.
  4. Regular hygiene and treatment of seams.
  5. See your doctor.

After the operation, a special stretcher device is placed, which helps to keep the male body in one position and does not allow it to return to its original position. It is characterized by a gentler action and will not press or rub the scar. The duration of wearing is determined by the doctor, but not less than 21 days.

After three months, an extender is placed on the man's phallus. Initially, the device is worn for several hours as the length increases. Daily wear time increases to 8 hours per day. The length puller should be used daily for at least 4 months. After two months, the result will be noticeable.

Wearing an extender and the duration of use are determined by the attending physician individually for each patient, based on the structural characteristics and physiological characteristics of the man.

If all recommendations are followed and specialized devices are worn correctly, the result will be noticeable within six months. The manhood can be increased up to 5 cm in length by cutting the ligaments and stretching the phallus.

Complications

Modern diagnostics and methods of performing operations do not cause severe disturbances, as well as pathological changes in the process of performing ligamentotomy. The procedure has a minimum of contraindications, but complications may occur due to incorrect work by the specialist:

  • the phallus has shrunk or remained unchanged;
  • manifestations of rough scarring of the epithelial tissue;
  • violation of male dignity;
  • testicular swelling, testicular prolapse;
  • tissue death;
  • displacement of groin hair on the phallus;
  • erectile dysfunction;
  • instability of the penis during intercourse;
  • strong penile sensitivity or lack thereof.

Before performing a surgical intervention, you should visit several specialists, make a complete diagnosis, understand all the risks and positive aspects, and then make a decision about plastic surgery. Monitoring of clinics and doctors performing ligamentotomy is mandatory.

Modern technologies and techniques are the main advantage in performing the operation. The manipulation is a new innovative way to enlarge the penis, as a result of which it is performed only by modern, experienced doctors.
