Ligamentotomy is a surgical procedure to cut through the ligament of a penis. The purpose of the operation is to increase the visible part of the penis. The essence of the operation is that the inside of the penis is hidden in the adipose tissue under the skin. This part is attached to the pelvic bones by means of the above-mentioned tape, which is a cartilage-like formation.
Weakening of the attachment of the penis to the bones creates conditions that increase its size by 3-5 centimeters. Additional stretching of the penis is performed with the help of a special device - an extension.
Indications for ligamentotomy
There are two groups of indications for penile extension surgery:
Medical indications:
- Peyronie's disease, in which severe deformity of the penis may occur, with a decrease in length;
- cavernous fibrosis;
- "Hidden" penis, also known as the micropenis.
Aesthetics or markings:
- man’s desire to increase his attractiveness;
- the man's desire to increase self-esteem;
- penile dysmorphophobia - general dissatisfaction with the appearance, shape or size of the penis.
The lower limit of the average size of the erect penis is 12 centimeters long. The reason for this operation may be less than 12 cm in size.
Contraindications
The absolute contraindication to ligamentotomy is the presence of mental illness. It is not recommended to perform the operation in the presence of serious diseases, the course of which may worsen after the operation or develop serious complications, such diseases:
- uncontrolled high blood pressure;
- diabetes;
- severe disorders of the blood clotting system.
Preparation
Preoperative preparation consists of passing a simple exam, including:
- consultation with a urologist;
- clinical and biochemical blood tests;
- blood against HIV, syphilis and hepatitis;
- ECG;
- examination by an anesthesiologist.
You should refuse eating and drinking 8-10 hours before surgery. The groin should be shaved just before surgery.
How to lengthen the penis with ligamentotomy
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. A skin incision is made in the middle of the scrotum, through which the surgeon has access to the penile ligament suspension, which is cut off with a scalpel. The duration of the operation is 0, 5-1 hours. Absorbent sutures are applied to the skin of the scrotum.
Postoperative period, complications
The patient is monitored at the ligamentotomy clinics for 1 day and then the patient is sent home. The suture on the scrotum heals in 5-7 days. Prior to discharge, the patient consults a urologist, who explains that an extension cord should be worn for 3-4 months.
Complications of ligamentotomy are extremely rare. The most common are bleeding and discoloration of the suture after surgery. Currently, the rate of complications does not exceed 0. 1% of the total number of operations.
further information
Increasing the size of the penis with ligamentotomy and wearing an extension is 3-5 cm. The specific result depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body - the size of the hidden part of the corpora cavernosa, e. g. and the extensibility of blood vessels and urethra.
There are alternative ways to increase penis length - using vacuum devices and wearing an extension without ligamentotomy. An extension is a special device that is suspended on the penis and pulled out due to mechanical effects.
The effectiveness of a ligamentotomy is much higher than any other method of increasing penis length. Traditional methods of penis enlargement, such as the Jelq method, the Sadhu method, self-hypnosis, etc. , Have no evidence and are virtually ineffective.
