Ligamentectomy is a surgical procedure to cut the ligaments of the penis. This operation is aimed at increasing the visible part of the penis. The essence of the operation is that the penis has an internal part hidden in the subcutaneous fatty tissue. This part is fixed to the pelvis by the aforementioned ligaments, which have a cartilage-like structure.
Due to the weakening of the fixation of the penis to the bone, conditions are created to increase its size by 3-5 cm. Further lengthening of the penis is carried out using a special device - an extender.
Indications to cut ligaments
There are two groups of indications for penis enlargement surgery:
Medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease, in which there may be a pronounced deformity of the penis with a decrease in its length;
- cavernous fibrosis;
- The "hidden" penis is also known as a microscopic penis.
Cosmetology or indication:
- a man's desire to increase his attractiveness;
- a man's desire to increase self-esteem;
- phallophobia - general dissatisfaction with the shape, shape or size of your penis.
The lower limit of the average penis size in an erect state is considered to be 12 cm in length. Sizes less than 12 cm could be the reason for this activity.
Contraindications
An absolute contraindication to laparotomy is the presence of mental illness. Surgery should not be performed when there are serious conditions, the course of which may get worse after surgery, or serious complications may develop, which include:
- uncontrolled hypertension;
- Diabetes;
- Severe disorders of the coagulation system.
Preparation
Preoperative preparation includes passing a simple exam, which includes:
- consultation with a urologist;
- clinical and biochemical blood tests;
- blood for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis;
- ECG;
- examined by an anesthesiologist.
8-10 hours before the activity, you should refuse to eat or drink. The groin should be shaved immediately before surgery.
How to lengthen the penis by cutting the ligaments
The operation is performed under general anesthesia. A skin incision is made in the middle of the scrotum, through which the surgeon accesses the penile sling, which is then cut with a scalpel. The duration of the operation is 0. 5-1 hour. Absorbent sutures are applied to the skin of the scrotum.
Post-operative period, complications
Observation of patients at the clinics performing ligamentectomy was performed for 1 day, after which the patient was discharged home. Stitches on the scrotum will heal in 5-7 days. Before discharge, the patient undergoes a consultation with a urologist, where he is explained that it is necessary to wear an instrument that lasts for 3-4 months.
Complications of a ligament ablation are extremely rare. The most common is bleeding and stitches after surgery. Currently, the complication rate does not exceed 0. 1% of the total number of surgeries.
more information
The possibility of penis enlargement by the method of ligament cutting combined with the wearing of an extender is 3-5 cm. Specific results depend on the individual characteristics of the patient's body - the size of the hidden part of the cavernous body, as well as the expansion of the vessels and the urethra.
There are many alternative methods to increase penis length - using a vacuum device and wearing an extender without cutting the ligaments. The extender is a special device that is attached to the penis and pulls it out by mechanical action.
The effectiveness of laparotomy is far superior to any other method of penis enlargement. Traditional penis enlargement methods, such as Jelq method, Sadhu method, self-hypnosis, etc. v. , has no evidence base and is practically ineffective.
