Preparation

To perform a ligamentotomy, a repeated consultation with a surgeon is necessary. 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 need to 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 group;
  • 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 evening before surgery you should:

  • Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking;
  • limit food intake;
  • eliminate the use of medications;
  • remove hair from the groin area, genitals, and scrotum.

Arrive for ligamentotomy at exactly the specified time with all the necessary documents and examinations.

Operation

The mechanism of manipulation is carried out in several stages. Initially, the patient is given an anesthetic 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 numerous 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 dissects the ligament, after which it becomes possible to separate and extend 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. After which the seams 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, preventing the penis from returning to its place.

Consequences

The manipulation is not a complicated process, so complications and side effects occur quite rarely. Infrequent cases may show:

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

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

Rehabilitation

After surgery, 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 painkillers. Medicines, duration, dosage, and type 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 medications as directed by the doctor.
  2. Avoid sexual and physical activity for up to three weeks.
  3. Wearing specialized underwear that supports the penis in one position.
  4. Regular hygiene and suture treatment.
  5. Visit your doctor.

After the operation, a special stretcher device is put on, which helps keep the manhood in one position and does not allow it to return to its original position. It is characterized by a more gentle effect 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. At first, the device is worn for several hours, while the length is increased. Daily wearing time is increased to 8 hours a day. The length traction device must be used daily for at least 4 months. After two months the result will be noticeable.

The wearing of 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. Manhood can be increased in length up to 5 cm 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 arise due to incorrect work of the specialist:

  • the phallus has shrunk or remained unchanged;
  • manifestations of gross scarring of epithelial tissue;
  • deformation of male dignity;
  • swelling of the testicles, prolapse of the testes;
  • tissue death;
  • displacement of the groin hair onto the phallus;
  • erectile dysfunction;
  • instability of the penis during sexual intercourse;
