Preparation

To perform a ligamentotomy, 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 requests diagnoses. You need to go through:

  • fluorography;
  • testing for HIV, syphilis;
  • blood test for sexually transmitted diseases;

  • electrocardiogram;
  • general biochemical analysis of blood, urine;
  • blood test for Rh, blood group;
  • diagnosis of the presence of hepatitis B and C;

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

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

Operation

The manipulation mechanism is carried out in several stages. Initially, the patient is given an anesthetic to relieve pain. During the consultation the type of anesthesia will be discussed.

The surgical intervention is carried out in two ways.

through the pubis

Initially, surgeons used this method. This technique is not positive due to the 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, which is why it is no longer performed.

through the scrotum

The surgeon makes an incision at the top of the scrotum. The ligament is dissected, after which it is 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 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

Manipulation is not a complicated process, so complications and side effects are quite rare. Rare cases may show:

  • suppuration and infection of the wound;
  • bleeding;
  • lack of result;
  • swelling of the penis;
  • deformation of masculine dignity;
  • erectile dysfunction;
  • bruises;
  • decreased sensitivity of the penis;
  • Formation of scars on the surface of the phallus.

If any of the symptoms appear, you should contact your doctor for assistance in eliminating the defects.

Rehabilitation

After surgery, the patient remains in a medical facility under the supervision of medical personnel.

To prevent negative inflammatory and painful processes, the patient is prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and analgesics. Medications, duration, dosage and type of administration are determined by the doctor individually for each patient.

The sutures are removed 7 to 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. Wear specialized underwear that holds the penis in one position.
  4. Regular hygiene and suture treatment.
  5. Visit your doctor.

After the operation, a special stretcher is placed that helps keep the penis in one position and does not allow it to return to its original position. It is characterized by a softer effect and does not press or rub the scar. The duration of use 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. The daily use time increases to 8 hours a day. The longitudinal traction device should be used daily for at least 4 months. After two months the result will be noticeable.

The use of an extender and the duration of its use are determined by the treating doctor individually for each patient, based on the structural and physiological characteristics of the man.

If all recommendations are followed and specialized devices are used correctly, the result will be noticeable in six months. The length of the manhood can be increased up to 5 cm by cutting the ligaments and stretching the phallus.

Complications

Modern diagnostics and methods of performing operations do not cause serious disturbances and 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 been reduced or has remained unchanged;
  • manifestations of macroscopic scarring of epithelial tissue;
  • deformation of masculine dignity;

  • tissue death;
  • displacement of hair from the groin towards the phallus;
  • erectile dysfunction;
  • instability of the penis during sexual intercourse;
