Man's Penis Successfully Reattached Nearly 24hours After He Cut It Off

[Turd Fergusen]

In a medical first, surgeons in the United Kingdom have successfully completed a penis reattachment — nearly 24 hours after the man cut his organ off of his body during a psychotic episode.

There have been only a handful of penile replantation surgeries in history, but almost none had been without blood supply for more than a few hours. Nearly six weeks after the operation, the patient has regained full use of his penis and is able to achieve a full erection.

In a new case study published in BMJ Case Reports, surgeons from the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust wrote, “The success of this case therefore should encourage surgeons to attempt penile replantation, even with prolonged ischaemia [inadequate blood supply] time, due to possible success and the potential physical and psychosocial effects of organ loss for the patient.”

Their patient, a 34-year-old man with a known history of paranoid schizophrenia, was brought to surgeons in Birmingham the day after attempting to take his own life, which involved dismembering his own genitalia. He was not discovered for 15 hours, and was immediately rushed to the operating room upon arrival.

There have been only about a hundred penile reattachment surgeries according to medical annals, and they generally occurred within a few hours of detachment. In the past, surgeons would simply sew the penis back onto the body without attempting to reconnect the dorsal nerve and blood vessels, which usually led to scarring in the urethra and desensitization of the penis.

Nice of them to go to all that trouble. And expense. I guess the NHS will just charge it to the rate-payers.

Hope he stays on his medication now. A repeat performance wouldn't end so well...

 

[Satanica]

Yeah, I was gonna say he'll just do it again.

 

[BiPolarBear88]

If I ever do that? My wife will definitely leave me. That's all I have to offer on a bad day!

Look out ladies!!!!
Frankendick is on the loose.

 

[Inferus]

Easy cum, easy go.

I am sure he will love his Frankenwang much much better than his original factory installed one.
What could possibly go wrong in the future?

Wasted health-care resources.

Shit happens in an episode, imagine waking up to that. You are harsh. It's not wasted health care resources, it's reality. Real people are dealing with it instead of brushing it off in sweeping statements.

 

[roadsidehorror]

If you are cutting your own dick off? That's more than an episode honey. That's an "We can't trust you anywhere on anything" made for TV movie.....

Howz that for a sweeping statement?

 

[Keepalowprofile]

I dont know why they reattached it. He didn't want it.

 

[Taffy]

If he does it again, the docs should sew it on backwards......or give him a nice vaggaga.

 

[Metalfan]

I wonder if he gets one of those cones like you give an animal to keep from itching?

 

[roadsidehorror]

That image is going to be with me all day!
