Ligamentotomy is a surgical procedure that transects the ligaments of the penis. This surgery aims to increase the visible part of the penis. The essence of the operation is that the penis has an inner part hidden in the subcutaneous fat tissue. This part is fixed on the pelvic bone by the above-mentioned ligament, which is a cartilage-like structure.
Due to the weakening of the fixation of the penis and bones, its size increased by 3-5 cm. The further extension of the penis is carried out using a special device-an extender.
Indications for ligamentotomy
There are two groups of indications for penis extension surgery:
Medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease, in which the penis may be significantly deformed and shorten its length;
- Spongy fibrosis;
- The "hidden" penis, or small penis.
Aesthetics or indications:
- A man wants to increase his attractiveness;
- A man’s desire to increase his self-esteem;
- Penile deformity phobia-general dissatisfaction with the appearance, shape or size of the penis.
The lower limit of the average penis size in an erect state is considered to be 12 cm in length. A size smaller than 12 cm may be the reason for this operation.
Contraindications
The absolute contraindication of ligamentotomy is the presence of mental illness. It is not recommended to perform surgery in the presence of serious diseases. After the operation, the course of the disease may worsen or serious complications may occur. These diseases include:
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure;
- diabetes;
- Severe coagulation system disorder.
Prepare
Preoperative preparation includes passing simple examinations, including:
- Consult a urologist;
- Clinical and biochemical blood testing;
- HIV, syphilis and hepatitis blood;
- Electrocardiogram
- Checked by an anesthesiologist.
Eating and drinking should be refused 8-10 hours before the operation. The groin should be shaved immediately before the operation.
How to lengthen the penis through a ligament incision
The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Make a skin incision in the middle of the scrotum. Through this incision, the surgeon can access the penile ligament drape and then cut it with a scalpel. The duration of the operation was 0. 5 to 1 hour. Absorbent sutures are applied to the skin of the scrotum.
Postoperative period, complications
The patient was observed for 1 day in the clinic where the ligamentotomy was performed, after which the patient was discharged home. The sutures on the scrotum heal within 5-7 days. Before leaving the hospital, the patient will consult with a urologist and be told that he needs to wear an extender for 3-4 months.
Complications of ligamentotomy are extremely rare. The most common are bleeding and purulent postoperative sutures. At present, the complication rate does not exceed 0. 1% of the total number of operations.
extra information
The potential to increase penis size through ligamentotomy combined with wearing an extender is 3-5 cm. The specific results depend on the individual characteristics of the patient's body-the size of the hidden parts of the cavernous body, such as the stretchability of the blood vessels and urethra.
There are alternative ways to increase the length of the penis-using a vacuum device and wearing an extender without ligamentotomy. The extender is a special device that hangs on the penis and pulls it out due to mechanical action.
The effectiveness of ligamentotomy is much higher than any other method of increasing the length of the penis. Traditional penis enlargement methods, such as Jelq method, Sadhu method, self-hypnosis, etc. , have no evidence basis and are actually invalid.
